The Usage of Artificial Neural Networks For Finite Capacity Planning

In this study finite scheduling and artificial neural networks are applied for finite capacity planning. Utilisation of artificial neural networks on solving finite scheduling problems is examined. Also a model is developed by using multi layer perceptron (MLP) networks and carried out to solve a real world problem in a job shop scheduling system, in an automotive firm.
