Algorithm for High-Throughput Scheduling of Paced Sequences

Sustainable production systems are characterized by systematic order control and scheduling to increase performance. Efficient scheduling considers all restrictions that occur during order processing, to achieve high utilization. This includes safety margins for ad hoc changes and in particular the scheduling of temporarily paced sequences. After processing these orders, the organizational process is carried out with a highly flexible material flow similar to job shop production. This paper describes an algorithm for the efficient planning of temporarily paced sequences during scheduling of a high-throughput system, in order to achieve an optimal utilization in the planning phase.
