Managing the Effectiveness of Machines During the Assignment of Tasks to the Production

Abstract

Abstract The allocation of production tasks to specific production resources is an important part of preparing the manufacturing process. The amount of profit and costs incurred depends on this division. The efficiency of production resources depends not only on the technologies used, but also on the tasks that will be carried out on them. Therefore, the management of machine efficiency includes both an evaluation (analytical and assessment undertaking, e.g. OEE) and planning activities aimed at maximizing the efficiency of machines by appropriately assigning production tasks to them. The article presents the problem of the allocation of production of various products to various production resources, including the efficiency of the use of machines and devices, emphasizing the possibilities of undertaking optimization actions in the cost management process. A mathematical model was formulated for this issue. An algorithm solving the problem of allocation of production tasks is presented. The solution was obtained using the Octave computing environment.
