• Resumen

  • This article presents a tool based on a customised spreadsheet and a simulator based on discrete events to solve the production scheduling problem of a mix model assembly line type of a manufacturing firm in the electrical components sector. The problem to be solved must consider the availability of some products, setup times, manufacturing heterogeneous sized batches, and prioritisation of customers’ orders. The tool described herein has been implemented and used in a multinational firm located in Spain.
