IntroductionIn this paper by Eli Schragenheim and Daniel Walsh, the differences between manufacturing scheduling and multi-project scheduling arediscussed. The authors point out the critical need to be able to distinguish between the two environments, and to schedule them using the appropriate algorithms.They also discuss the frequent reality of hybrid environments-operations that have aspects of both projects and manufacturing. These hybrid environments require an integrated scheduling scenario. Mr. Schragenheim and Mr. Walsh are recognized as two of the world's foremost TOC experts.
