The main characteristic of the problem is that it considers a synchronized environment. A scheduling problem is handled in a manufacturing system that is using uniform time bucket approach for synchronization. There are three main aspects of the problem. The first aspect is the allocation of manpower. The manpower levels are determined in order to maximize production rate. Then, cell loading issue is addressed for multiple cells. Finally, a schedule is generated for each cell in order to minimize the number of periods where available manpower is exceeded. Two methods are used in order to solve these three main aspects of the problem, namely mathematical modeling and genetic algorithm. It has been concluded that mathematical modeling is better for cell loading and genetic algorithm is better for product sequencing. Also, minimizing similarity among products worked better during cell loading phase. Finally, sequential solution of cell loading and product sequencing was better compared to simultaneous solution of these two phases.
