Abstract:

This paper presents an approach to the investigation of the scheduling problem confronting the Metal Plating Facility at Red River Army Depot. The objective is to provide a scheduling algorithm which may be used to schedule jobs processed by the facility. The procedure followed in the investigation was to develop a computerized simulation model of the facility and schedule jobs through the model subject to a number of priority rules. GASP II simulation language was employed in the investigation.
