Vertical Data Integration for Reactive Scheduling

Abstract

Within supply chains planning and scheduling tasks are spread across several companies and over several hierarchically levels. But the main scheduling direction is top down which means that reactive scheduling in the case of disturbing events is not supported on all scheduling levels of the supply chain. To support a reactive scheduling process in the supply chain this paper presents a concept of vertical data integration using basic data from shop floor to generate events useful in scheduling decisions on higher levels.
