Abstract
Virtual Computer-Integrated Manufacturing(VCIM) is a relatively new concept, developed to help small and medium manufacturing enterprises survive and thrive in the increasingly competitive global market. VCIM is still,conceptually, being developed. In this paper, the latest production scheduling model for VCIM systems is reported.This is the most comprehensive VCIM production scheduling model to date, which is not only capable of handling multiple product orders but also multiple objective functions under uncertainties. Besides selecting appropriate partners, i.e.component suppliers and assembly agents, to fulfil product orders, the proposed model can support collaborative shipment scheduling. The proposed production scheduling model serves as a foundation for operating VCIM systems more effectively.A supportive framework for VCIM implementation is also discussed herein.
