document: Work sequencing in a manufacturing cell with limited labour constraints This study focuses on the analysis of group scheduling heuristics in a dual-constrained , automated manufacturing cell , where labour utilization is limited to setups , tear-downs and loads/unloads . This scenario is realistic in today 's automated manufacturing cells . The results indicate that policies for allocating labour to tasks have very little impact in such an environment . Furthermore , the performance of efficiency oriented , exhaustive , group scheduling heuristics deteriorated while the performance of the more complex , non-exhaustive heuristics improved . Thus , it is recommended that production managers use the simplest labour scheduling policy , and instead focus their efforts to activities such as job scheduling and production planning in such environments
