• production scheduling

In this work a predictive-reactive approach is applied for generating productive schedules and its application is suggested in ceramic companies that, following a traditional static approach, they need to keep this information as a beginning of its decisional process, in order to coordinate material delivering from providers, to carry out a close/fine capacity adjustment, transport planning, etc. but they also need to face unexpected changes adapting the initial schedule. %26lt;br%26gt;Uncertainty is an aspect few times considered in literature despite of being present in most of manufacturing processes. In order to facilitate companies a new framework that allows tackling uncertainty, a new proposal aligned with a predictive-reactive view and which can constitute a useful tool for this kind of companies is presented. %26lt;br%26gt;Once the framework established, this contribution is focus on methods to deal with reactive phase, which is less developed in the scientific field than predictive. Specific contributions which consider characteristic setups from ceramic industry and others related to different environments are included. Obtained results illustrate a productivity improvement by applying simple methods.
