Think that scheduling your
laser job shop is difficult and time consuming . . . you're right, and you're not alone.
Even for a small number of machines and jobs, the problem of finding a schedule that accounts for all the relevant constraints quickly becomes difficult to solve.
The idea of finding the best, or optimum solution is soon replaced with acceptance of any schedule that looks like it might work!
Paper and pencil, spreadsheets, and whiteboards are tools that have a place in attempting to find a schedule, but they do little to remove the headache.
This is particularly true when unforeseen events make the "hard won" schedule redundant.
Get rid of your headache!
You need Juggler.
