Abstract
Job-shop scheduling through simulation uses various kinds of dispatching rules such as SPT or the slack time rule. Each of these rules aims at satisfying a single criterion although workshop management is a multi-criteria problem. This paper proposes a way to use fuzzy logic in order to build aggregated rules allowing to obtain a compromise between the satisfaction of several criteria. When the criteria of performance change with the evolution of the production environment, these aggregated rules can be parametrized in order to modify the respective influence of the elementary rules they are composed of.Keywords
