A study on interrupt scheduling of a logistic center

Proposal of re-active scheduling method with the interrupt time and the number of urgent order

Abstract

In order to ship ordered products based on ordered papers within due days, it is requested to control the logistic center effectively. We have proposed a new scheduling method on the order-picking problem in a large-scale logistic center based on 'Local Clustering Organization (LCO)'. This paper propose a re-active scheduling method possible to treat pre-schedule interruption by urgent orders. Moreover, we prove the effectiveness of the proposed method through numerical experiments.
