Production Management (PM) in a discrete multi-product manufacturing enviroment consists in deciding, for each order of final products from customer, (A) when the manufacturing system must initiate to process items (B) by what machining center (or sequence of machining centers) the items must be processed (C) in what rates the working time of each machining center must beshared and assigned to items of different product families
