Abstract
The scheduling and dispatching problem for flexible assembly systems operating in a MRP environment is described. These flexible assembly systems (FAS) can perform the required operations on multiple product types which are assembled simultaneously. A non-exact procedure is presented as the basis for SCHEDULER and DISPATCHER functionality in a hierarchical scheduling system design.
