The production system taken up in this research has a single machine and several LIFO buffers, and an operator moves jobs from a buffer to another or to the machine with a crane. Since the sequence of the jobs to be loaded to the machine and the relocations of them among the buffers are interrelated, these two decisions need to be addressed together with satisfying the due dates of the jobs and minimizing their setup times in a dynamic environment where long-term information on arriving jobs cannot be obtained in advance. Therefore, this research extracts scheduling logics for these tasks through a serious game, and evaluates their effects by simulation.
