Interaktive Fertigungsplanung

The position of enterprises in their markets is based on economical aspects and applied consumer proximity. In order to ensure this, it is necessary to use available resources in a very effective way. So planning and dispositive aspects in scheduling manufacturing systems are more and more important Operation research strategies and methodologies can help to handle this job. This paper discusses the question, why such strategies are not used in a higher frequency in planning manufacturing systems as at the moment. Four possible reasons are examined in this article. The purpose is to develop some requirements for an increasing acceptance of computer based scheduling systems using operation research strategies. The utilization of an computer based scheduling system permits disponents to plan performance of manufacturing systems as well as to evaluate the consequences of some special manufacturing alternatives in an easy way. The emerging information's are groundwork for ensuring the esti mation of manufacturing methods. Some strategies are implemented in the computer based scheduling system OSC++. A special topic of OSC++ is the randomly interactive positioning of manufacturing operations in a schedule. Now it is possible to contribute production inherent knowledge, combined with experiences of disponents into the planning of manufacturing scheduling in a direct way
