ABSTRACT
This tutorial covers the basic concepts used in scheduling a production facility with the FACTOR product. Topics covered include: basic modeling constructs and their use; user written model components; advanced modeling constructs; integration with existing production systems and data; options for tailoring reports and the user interfaces; and daily use of the model for scheduling. The object of the tutorial is to provide an introduction to modeling methodology used by FACTOR and to the concept of schedule simulation as implemented by FACTOR.
