Introduction
Generating an optimal production schedule is essential for manufacturing operations, having a significant impact on the efficiency and productivity of the whole operation and, hence, on top and bottom line, as well as on-time delivery dates. Yet, building a high-quality schedule for large complex operations has been known to be one of the most challenging business tasks. Additionally, such large-scale automation enables the automatic generation of optimal schedules for a long time horizon, e.g., months in advance. This opens the door to new AI applications for promising delivery dates based on a more accurate assessment of future resource availability, and for tactical capacity planning.
