Abstract

This paper describes formulations of the Evaluation Planning Module that have been developed since its inception. This module is one of the core algorithms in the Pantex Process Model, a computerized model to support production planning in a complex manufacturing system at the Pantex Plant, a US Department of Energy facility. The model reflects the interactions of scheduling constraints, material flow constraints, and the availability of required technicians and facilities.
