Application of survival function in robust scheduling of production jobs

摘要

Scheduling production jobs in the real production system requires considering a number of factors which may prove to exert a negative effect on the production processes. Hence the need for the identification and compensation of potential disruptions as early as at the production planning stage. The aim of this paper is to employ the survival and the hazard function to anticipate potential disruptions of the schedule so that they could be absorbed to produce a robust job schedule.
