| Abstract | A Make-to-Order (MTO) set-up is one in which production starts only on receiving confirmed orders, and there is no inventory. An enterprise is a group of production sites that may be geographically separated. This paper considers enterprises that operate on the MTO principles. Upon receiving orders for products, the orders are assigned to the different production sites that are geographically distributed. In order to have an efficient production plan, the decision support system must address challenges at the enterprise level, as well as at the individual production site level. In this paper our interest is in an optimal distribution of orders across sites while exploiting individual capacities at those sites. The enterprise level decisions are referred to as routing decisions, while the site level decisions are called scheduling decisions. The planning horizon for these decisions is typically short, that is, a day or a week and hence the proposed solution approach falls under short term capacity planning. A central router is assumed to receive orders on behalf of the enterprise, and is then expected to divide the order workload amongst the sites, in order to minimize the overall costs (production as well as transportation). At each site, an optimal schedule is determined to minimize the maximal completion time, as well as maximize remaining capacity on each machine, after satisfying the workload assigned to it. A framework for cost efficient routing and scheduling while ensuring job deadlines is proposed which allows iterative interaction of routing and scheduling modules. The feedback on capacity based on deadline violations at each site is used to iteratively optimize routing of jobs while ensuring job deadlines, along with the objective of cost efficient capacity planning. We present two iterative frameworks one using Mixed Integer Program (MIP) and the second using MIP and discrete event simulation model. The proposed frameworks have been implemented and computational results are presented to compare their performances. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
