These methods are in fact dedicated to solving the standard problems such as shop floor scheduling or lot-sizing, or their simple combinations such as scheduling with batching. Whereas many real-world production planning problems require the simultaneous solution of several problems (in addition to task scheduling and lot-sizing, the problems such as cutting, workforce scheduling, packing and transport issues), including the problems that are difficult to structure. The article presents examples and classification of production planning and scheduling systems in the foundry industry described in the literature, and also outlines the possible development directions of models and algorithms used in such systems.}, type={Artykuły / Articles}, title={Models and Algorithms for Production Planning and Scheduling in Foundries - Current State and Development Perspectives}, URL={http://journals.pan.pl/Content/86434/PDF/14_paper.pdf}, doi={10.2478/v10266-012-0039-4}, keywords={Application of Information Technology to the Foundry Industry, Production Planning, Scheduling}, }
