Summary Information provided by the agent in SIGEVA
Highly efficient optimization methods are needed to deal rigorously with complex short-term production scheduling problems. This work presents a comparative study of two alternative solution strategies based on a mathematical programming approach and a graph-oriented method. Different scenarios of increasing complexity are addressed in order to evaluate the current capabilities and limitations of each solution method.
