dc.description.abstractThe ability of a production system to complete orders on time is a critical measure of customer service. While there is typically a preferred routing for a job through the processing machines, often an alternative route is available that can be used to avoid bottleneck operations and improve due date performance. In this paper a heuristic approach is given to dynamically select routing alternatives for a set of jobs to be processed in a job shop. The approach is coupled with a job shop scheduling algorithm developed by Hodgson et al. (1998, 2000) to minimize the latest job (Lmax).en_US
