Dear All,<br><br>I am looking for a user-friendly platform which would allow me to model and solve a<br><b>production scheduling problem with changeover times</b>. Since it's an NP-Hard<br>problem, I am getting convinced that a CP formulation would be most<br>
appropriate. Later on, a GUI should be designed to allow a user to interact<br>with the model.<br><br>Is "drools" a proper platform for this? Are there any examples of this type of problem solved with Drools?<br>
<br>I need to tackle a problem with 4 parallel machines, over 100 jobs and 100 changeovertypes (sequence dependant setup times between each job).<br><br>I would appreciate any help on this! Thanks<br><br>Kind Regards,<br>
Andrei
