This paper deals with the development of a hybrid prototype system, which would act as an integrated real time decision support system for resource planning and scheduling. The hybrid system would be the application of continuous improvement, with elements of Total Quality Management and Close Loop Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) modules. A combination of the above two capabilities would help in deploying a hybrid approach of managing the manufacturing activities through 'Advanced Planning and Scheduling' (APS) mechanism. The optimised quantities of products to be manufactured have to be decided after passing through a decision support model. This model has been primarily based on linear programming (LP) method, which would consider the finite capacity of resources.

Abstract


This paper deals with the development of a hybrid prototype system, which would act as an integrated real time decision support system for resource planning and scheduling. The hybrid system would be the application of continuous improvement, with elements of Total Quality Management and Close Loop Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) modules. A combination of the above two capabilities would help in deploying a hybrid approach of managing the manufacturing activities through 'Advanced Planning and Scheduling' (APS) mechanism. The optimised quantities of products to be manufactured have to be decided after passing through a decision support model. This model has been primarily based on linear programming (LP) method, which would consider the finite capacity of resources.
