The proposed algorithm considers finite buffer capacity, routing and sequence flexibilities and generates machine and AGV schedules in varying time windows. The performance of the algorithm is measured using makespan, flow time, and tardiness criteria under various experimental conditions.EnglishAlgorithmsMaterials handling equipmentProduction controlSchedulingBeam search based scheduling algorithmFinite buffer capacityMaterials handling routesRolling time windowsSequences flexibilitiesFlexible manufacturing systemsConference Paper
