摘要：AbstractProduction scheduling has a long history of research but still presents open challenges, when considering production systems with uncertainty. The digitization, and in particular Digital Twins, may play a role in progressing the research field. The paper proposes a framework to exploit the Digital Twin synchronization with the field to include health assessment models into the simulation-based optimization of the production system scheduling. The health assessment is based on a modelling of failure modes and monitoring signals to connect the physical production resources to health and operating states in order to have a more accurate prediction of the makespan with respect to the actual makespan of the production system. The scheduling framework is validated through a laboratory application in the Industry 4.0 Lab at the School of Management of Politecnico di Milano.
