Explanation of Solution

Workcenter scheduling explains the way work is organized in the workstations and the way resources are allocated to those work centers. The schedule ensures that the necessary work is completed in time. The objectives of work center scheduling are:

  • The objectives might vary but each objective will have a due date within which the work must be completed.
  • The lead time required in delivering the output must be minimized as much as possible.
  • The setup time and cost required for establishing a work center must be minimized.
  • Minimization of work-in-process inventory.
  • The ability to maximize the machine and worker utilization or sometimes both.
