Small Batch Production System For Scheduling Optimization

"Ion exchange resin"belongs to multi-product and small batch productionsystems. How to make a reasonable arrangements and enhance enterprisecompetitivenesses the purpose of this study which will use mathematicalprogramming method to solving "ion exchange resin" scheduling problems, andfinding a practical solution method through the actual production datavalidation.This article introduces the ion exchange resin scheduling researchbackground and status of domestic and foreign studies, and then briefly describeion exchange resin production concept, according to the daily operation to ionexchange resin capacity.This article will firstly address current Rohm and Haas products forcapacity analysis to determine the status of Rohm and Haas plsmt operations;and then establish a simple mathematical programming model to optimizecurrent scheduling process and compare the practicality of the optimization level.Subsequently, a complicate model for further scheduling will be developed. Scheduling optimization results show that the mathematical programmingmethod to solving the production order is more scientific than current routinescheduling process. But when the new method is used in actual productionarrangement, a lot of things need to give more consideration to eliminate theinlfuence of other factors, so that production planning tends to be more如dmore simple.By mathematical programming, we found limited products will get lowerimpacts, and we can much easily to schedule the product by simple model todetermine company’s operation plan. Therefore, this study can improvescheduling performance of Rohm and Haas Shanghai Chemical Industry Co.,Ltd. for the actual operation.
