Abstract

In industrial scheduling problems, before finding suitable algorithms for solving mathematical programs, one often encounters difficulties in formulation and formalizing the problems themselves. This is especially the case when some optimal control is desired. There are several reasons for this:

  1. (a)

    It is difficult to arrive at a general agreement on defining what are precisely good (or optimal) operating conditions of the manufacturing process.

  2. (b)

    There are generally many criteria and constraints inter-related each to the other in a complex manner.

  3. (c)

    Data are not always available.

The work of this paper is carried out under the DGRST Contract No. 73-7-1301, and with industrial support from St. Joseph S. A. Bordeaux.
