Abstract
We simulate the performance of a simple production system in which due‐dates are set internally. We investigate priority rules aimed at minimizing tardiness, emphasizing a “modified duedate rule” which functions effectively in conjunction with internally‐set deadlines and which adapts to both tight and loose conditions in the due‐dates. This rule is simple and logical, and shows considerable promise for application in complex production systems.Keywords
