Overview
- Scheduling is a basic core research stream in OR that is applied across a variety of discipline domains including Engineering, Computer Science, Production Operations, Manufacturing, and other areas. The handbook’s emphasis on "real world" problems and practice will be its key selling point
- There are a variety of scheduling texts and handbooks that stress the theoretical and mathematical models of scheduling, including Michael Pinedo's Scheduling textbook and Joseph Leung's Handbook of Scheduling. This book will stress the results from real-world scheduling, case studies of innovative scheduling practice and techniques, etc.
- Outlines four important roles for simulation when improving production scheduling: generating schedules, evaluating parameter settings, emulating a scheduling system, and evaluating deterministic scheduling approaches
- System-level issues are discussed that are relevant to production scheduling as well as their importance in modern manufacturing organizations
- Of specific interest is the state-of-the-art in production scheduling of semiconductor wafer fabrication facilities and the difficulty of their complex flow processes
- Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras

About this book
Handbook of Production Scheduling concentrates on real-world production scheduling in factories and industrial settings. It includes industry case studies that use innovative techniques as well as academic research results that can be used to improve real-world production scheduling. Its purpose is to present scheduling principles, advanced tools, and examples of innovative scheduling systems to persons who could use this information to improve production scheduling in their own organization.
The intended audience includes: production and plant managers, industrial engineers, operations research practitioners, advanced undergraduate/ graduate students and faculty studying and doing research in operations research and industrial engineering.
Reviews
From the reviews:
"Herrmann’s book describes in detail new production-scheduling problems and challenges. … this book is an excellent tool for use as a reference book for readers who wish to build new production-scheduling procedures. … I think this is an interesting book about production scheduling and related issues for use by many students, professionals, professors, and researchers to learn the key concepts about this topic. Therefore, I consider this work as a valuable reference for graduate students or researchers interested in production scheduling in a wider sense." (Javier Faulin, Interfaces, Vol. 38 (3), 2008)
