Summary

In this chapter, we discuss scheduling in multipurpose environments, which are the most general sequential environments. As in single- and multistage facilities, the general problem is posed in terms of facility (e.g., number and capacity of units) and product (e.g., processing times) data, as well as raw material and resource availability (e.g., batch release times), and product demand (e.g., due times). If the batching problem is solved independently, however, then the problem can be expressed in terms of batches instead of products. This is the problem that we study in the present chapter. Models for the simultaneous batching and scheduling can be formulated using the ideas presented in Chapter 4. General shared resources and storage policies can be modeled using the techniques presented in e Chapters 4 and 5, respectively.
