Extracting Critical Decisions for Robust and Adaptable Production Control

pi建议制定一个健壮的生产计划和控制方案，以适应车间的不确定性。该项目将是一个私营部门倡议，由伯利恒钢铁公司共同资助。pi希望解决的问题是实现一个生产过程，该过程可以实现全球管理目标，同时允许在变化和当地限制出现时从车间投入。项目经理的方法是从生产计划过程中提取关键决策并加以解决。未解决的决定在车间做出，从而允许适应不断变化的车间条件。pi将进一步发展理论和计算问题，并将扩展处理伯利恒钢铁公司具体情况的方法。

The PIs propose to develop a robust production planning and control scheme that is adaptable to shop floor uncertainty. The project will be a Private Sector Initiative with joint funding by the Bethlehem Steel Corporation. The problem the PIs hope to solve is the achievement of a production process which can achieve global managerial objectives while allowing for input from the shop floor as changes and local constraints emerge. The PIs' approach is to extract critical decisions from the production planning process and to solve them. Decisions left unresolved are made on the shop floor, thus allowing for adaptation to changing shop conditions. The PIs will further develop the theoretical and computational issues and will extend the approach to address the specific situation at Bethlehem Steel.
