Abstract

The central objective of this thematic project is the development of computational tools which assist in the tasks of planning and production control in manufacturing systems, with emphasis on the aspects of optimization of the costs involved. The project will consider a total of 7 tasks, covering the areas of Planning of Production and Programming (Scheduling) of production. The project brings together competencies from 4 institutions (INPE, USP-São Carlos, UFSCar and UNICAMP) through the involvement of 23 researchers. (AU)
