Abstract/Summary

Scheduling affects competitiveness of a firm. For embroidery, scheduling aims to achieve machine efficiency and suggest reliable promised due dates for the jobs. No existing scheduling model fits the embroidery process. While the bottleneck of the embroidery production process boils down to a single step process, it is affected by different job, machine, and personnel combinations, hence, giving rise to unique unit processing times. The thesis proposes to use linear programming but enhanced with feedback loop to achieve reliable unit processing times in the objective function over time. The feedback loop data can be drawn from production data or from setup data suggested by the performance measurements of the model. Test data simulated in a working prototype validate model efficiency.
