Abstract
This paper deals with an education planning method of human operator considering production schedules. The human operators carry out the machining operations by using manual machine tools based on their skills in the target manufacturing systems. The individual human operators can obtain the new skills to operate the machine tools by receiving the trainings. New education planning method is formulated based on the goal programming in this research. The proposed education planning method determine the suitable number of operations for making products and receiving training in order to keep the regular working hours and to maximize the priorities. The priorities represent the indices of the required skills according to the production schedules.
