Solving an Intelligent Scheduling Problem in an Automobile Factory

The research on intelligent manufacturing is divided into two parts, namely equipment intelligence and decision-making system intelligence. In the process of promoting intelligent manufacturing, it is not only necessary to automate the transformation of equipment and systems, but also to make their systems possess the characteristics of intelligent decision-making. One of scheduling problem inspired by a real case from the automobile factory with undergoing digital transformation is considered and a mathematical model is established to solve this scheduling problem. A simple heuristic is proposed to solve the problem. The solution is better than that by current method.
