Popis: Abstract. This paper deals with decisions of workload temporal distribution in scheduling discrete and diversified productions. A new way of formulating the scheduling problem is proposed, from which some concepts and tools are presented. The notion of time resource interval objects, TRIs, allows the management of technical (time and resource) aspects at the different levels of a hierarchical structuring of the set of decisions taken in the workshop, from ‘load distribution’ types, to ‘effective realization of the operations’ types. Constraint-based reasoning handles different TRIs corresponding to given kinds of decisions. It helps to highlight the bounds or limits to be respected while deciding, to remain consistent with an initial set of constraints, issued for example from an upper level of decisions. Decisions of load temporal distribution consist in readjustments of some time constraints on a set of planned operations, by taking into account the (or some more detailed) constraints on the re...
