Finite capacity scheduling tools: observations of installations offer some lessons

Abstract: Investigates the efficiency of finite capacity scheduling tools within companies which employ them. Presents research findings of the Liverpool STS Research Group into “best practice” in short‐term scheduling. Concludes with a list of key points drawn from the research.

“…As mentioned in [28], the early 1990's production scheduling was either not done at all, performed manually perhaps with simple decision aids or in a very limited number of cases, use was made of finite scheduling systems either as modules of Material Requirement Planning (MRP) system or via a connected scheduler, no wonder production efficiency of the yesteryears were so low with long working hours and many working shifts. However, these scheduling methods still suffered from high levels of time and manual planning skills in their execution, hence need for more autonomous methods to be applied.…”

“…Así, un conjunto de actividades forma una función y la suma de funciones es la organización [Mazo 1998]. Esta visión de la empresa ha evolucionado en las últimas décadas [Meredith 2002, p. 16], primero con una orientación hacia la cadena de valor -a partir del trabajo de Porter [Porter 1985]-y posteriormente poniendo el foco en los procesos -a partir del trabajo de Davenport [Davenport 1993] y de Hammer y Champy [Hammer 1993] (ver 4.4.4.1)-. No obstante, el motivo de comenzar definiendo el ámbito de la tesis respecto a la visión funcional de la empresa industrial radica en que, como comentan Koontz y Weihrich, "La departamentalización funcional es la base de uso más común para la organización de actividades y se halla presente en algún nivel de la estructura organizacional de casi todas las empresas" [Koontz 2004, p. 274] (en términos similares, [Cuervo 2004, p. 267]).…”

“…La cuestión fundamental que atañe a la comunidad científica dedicada a ello consiste en encontrar un conjunto reducido de parámetros, cuyos valores determinen la concurrencia de un gran número de características de un entorno industrial. En particular, un aspecto de especial interés es el de poder encontrar el sistema MPC apropiado para una industria a través de los valores del conjunto de parámetros [Porter 1999] [MacCarthy 2000] [Rivera 2001] etc.…”
