CP-driven Production Process Planning in Multiproject Environment

Journal Title: Decision Making in Manufacturing and Services - Year 2008, Vol 2, Issue 1

Abstract

The way enterprise capabilities are used decides about its competitiveness among other ones. In that context modeling aimed at production tasks allocation planning plays a crucial role especially at concurrently executed production orders. The introduced reference model employing constraint programming (CP) paradigm describes both an enterprise and a set of project-like production orders. Moreover, encompassing consumer orders requirements and available production capabilities, the model provides the formal framework allowing one to develop a class of decision support systems aimed at interactive production process planning subject to multiproject environment constraints. In that context our contribution is a knowledge-based and CP-driven approach to resource allocation assuming precise character of decision variables. The conditions sufficient for deadlock avoidance are the main goal. The conditions delivered provide formal framework for developing a task oriented Decision Support Tool for Project Portfolio Prototyping (DST4P, Banaszak 2006). The tool provides a prompt and interactive service to a set of routine queries formulated either in straight or reverse way.
