Abstract: The ever-increasing product complexity, especially for the case of engineer-to-order products, highly affects the performance of manufacturing systems. Therefore, a high degree of flexibility is needed during daily decision-making activities, such as production scheduling. For addressing this challenge, this research work proposes a knowledge-enriched short-term job-shop scheduling mechanism, which is implemented into a mobile application. More precisely, it focuses on the short-term scheduling of the resources of the machine shop, through an i...
