Abstract
Unscheduled disruptions often occur in the actual manufacturing systems, and an initial production schedule may not satisfy the constraints due to the disruptions. A reactive scheduling method based on Genetic Algorithm (GA) was, therefore, proposed to improve the disturbed production schedule in the previous research. This research deals with improvement of the reactive scheduling method for consideration of setup operations. Setup operations are modeled, and the previous reactive scheduling method is modified to generate suitable production schedules that contain setup operations.
