Reducing job throughput time: using horizontal scheduling and simultaneous manufacturing. In Kendall, G., Burke, E. & Petrovic, S. (Eds.) MISTA 2003: Proceedings of the 1st Multidisciplinary International Conference on Scheduling: theory and applications (Vol. 1). (pp.386-387).

We follow this approach because we aim at compressing job throughout time to a minimum. To further enhance this objective we apply Simultaneous Manufacturing through the widespread use of batch overlapping. For this we use a mechanism called Job Scheduling Pattern, which in addition to be particularly effective in reducing job throughout time, maintains operating simplicity and calls for reduced manufacturing coordination.engBatch schedulingHorizontal schedulingSimultaneous manufacturingconference paper
