ABSTRACT

This study examines the implementation and testing of a scheduler in a pasta production facility. It concentrates on experimental performance analysis of the planning through traditional and innovative metrics based on the application of Neural Networks, in particular BPN (back propagation network) and their training using modelling and simulation (M&S) techniques.
