Feasibility Study of the Application of Operations Research Methods to Solve Complex Shop Scheduling Problems

Abstract

This project was performed by Peterson Builders, Inc. and the University of Wisconsin-Madison to determine the feasibility of solving complex shop scheduling difficulties with Operation Research (OR) techniques. The operations research approach begins by carefully observing and formulating the problem. The nature of the problem is then suinmarized in a model which is assumed to sufficiently represent the real situation. Any conclusions obtained from the model are therefore assumed to be valid for the real situation. This model is then modified and confirmed with appropriate experimentation.
