MINIMIZATION OF MAKE SPAN THROUGH A NEW CONCEPT OF SCHEDULING SYSTEM BASED ON RCPSP HEURISTICS

In this paper we consider the problem of scheduling the tasks to workers in a make to order manufacturing company where the products are massive vibrating screens. We consider the above problem because the workers had given more importance as they are the main resources to form the structures following a detailed design drawing. As there is limited work force we considered the RCPSP heuristics taking into account the main constraint as work force. In a make - to - order manufacturing company all the production activities commences when the customer order arrives, hence a detailed step by step procedure from execut ion of order to shipment was explained in the proposed scheduling system. Then scheduling the operations would be done through LESTA,MINSLK,and H1 heuristic using these heuristics an attempt was made to minimize the make span
