Rescheduling is a procedure to repair a production plan affected by unexpected disruptions. It is important because a production schedule released to a shop floor is subject to unexpected disruptions. This paper develops two novel heuristic rescheduling procedures, AWI-J and AWI-O, to minimise mean...
