Abstract
This paper describes an industrial scheduling problem taken from a cable manufacturing process. An heuristic solution procedure known as the CMD rule is presented for this multi-product, multistage, continuous flow problem. The solution procedure is designed to minimize the sum of idle time of machines and in-process waiting at the second stage. A comparison of this rule with some standard scheduling rules is provided.Keywords
