Development of Prototype Scheduling and Sequencing Software for Job Shop Manufacturing in Sheet Metal Fabrication

A software program has been developed to ease the process of scheduling and sequencing number of jobs to certain number of machines for job shop manufacturing in sheet metal fabrication. The program is designed based on the present operation at Technology Park Malaysia (TPM) - Production Engineer...
