Production Scheduling Model in Aluminium Foundry

There are numerous and strategies for production management which are successfully implemented in the metal in dustry and in the automobile and machine tools industry in particular. Howerver, little research has been published regarding scheduling foundry operations based on the MRP II (Manufacturing Resource Planning), JIT (Just in time) and OPT (Optiminez Production Technology) concepts. The research strategy inclues a review of available literature and intergration of the developed mathematical model into a foundry for testing the model with real data. The proposed model is succesfully implemented into the ERP ( Enterprrise Resource Planning) system of Aluminium Ltd, in Mostar. The conclusions offered in this paper are based on the results of the tests carried out in that single foundry so that further work is required to validate the findings at other foundries and other manufacturing areas.
