Abstract
An interactive production planning system for electronic industry is d escribed. PCB component printing is used as a case study. The system s imulates the production from an initial situation to a given moment in the future. The input defines the product batches, their allocation a nd sequence for each machine and the due dates. The output includes su mmaries of the production period including the lateness of the batches and machine workload charts. The user can reconsider the allocation a nd sequencing of the batches and repeat the simulation and update oper ations to find a better balancing of the workload. (C) 1998 Elsevier S cience Ltd.
