RFID-ENABLED TRACK AND TRACEABILITY IN JOB-SHOP SCHEDULING ENVIRONMENT

摘要

This study presents an RFID based traceability approach to improve production scheduling. An in-depth study from a manufacturing services provider is conducted to explore the characteristics of an RFID-based traceability system. We then present a novel information visibility-based dynamic scheduling rule that utilizes the real-time traceability systems and provide a discussion on how track and traceability through RFID can facilitate job shop production scheduling activities.
