With the paper at hand, we review the literature on energy-oriented production planning. The aim of this study is to derive similar core issues and related properties along energy-oriented models within hierarchical production planning. For this, we carry out a systematic literature review and analyze and synthesize 375 research articles. We classify the underlying literature with a novel two-dimensional classification scheme and identify three key topics and five frequently found characteristics, which are presented in detail throughout this article.

This paper demonstrates that besides these classical models, a variety of approaches exist to influence ecological and social targets through production planning.

However, social sustainability has received less attention, especially compared to the economic aspects. Next to technical and organizational measures, social improvements within supply chains can also be achieved through suitable production planning. Within production planning, production programs are determined, and the assignment of available resources (e.g., employees) is specified. Thus, the utilization and workload of employees are defined. This systematic literature review investigates to what extent such employee-related social aspects are reflected in production planning and discusses whether economic aspects dominate them. For this, a Scopus database search was carried out and 76 identified approaches were analyzed and categorized regarding the occurring employee-related social aspects and their implementation. Thus far, the approaches mainly consider single aspects on single planning levels. A consideration of a broad set of aspects along the entire production planning has rarely been studied. In particular, health and safety aspects are considered on the levels of assembly line balancing and job rotation. However, their impact is primarily determined by the specific settings of the decision-maker. To support decision-makers, only a few studies have investigated the effects based on real application scenarios. Further potential might be an extended modeling of social and economic interdependencies and a consideration of employee-related social aspects in medium- to long-term production planning.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{TerbrackClausHerrmann, author = {Terbrack, Hajo and Claus, Thorsten and Herrmann, Frank}, title = {Addressing Energy Consumption and Energy-related Emissions by Single Machine Scheduling}, series = {Operations Research Proceedings 2022, Abstracts of the Annual International Conference of the German Operations Research Society (Gor): Karlsruhe, Germany, September 6-9, 2022}, booktitle = {Operations Research Proceedings 2022, Abstracts of the Annual International Conference of the German Operations Research Society (Gor): Karlsruhe, Germany, September 6-9, 2022}, editor = {Grothe, Oliver and Nickel, Stefan and Rebennack, Steffen and Stein, Oliver}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{TerbrackClausHerrmann, author = {Terbrack, Hajo and Claus, Thorsten and Herrmann, Frank}, title = {Emission reduction through production scheduling by priority rules and energy onsite generation}, series = {Proceedings of the 36th ECMS International Conference on Modelling and Simulation (ECMS 2022), May 30th - June 3rd, 2022, {\AA}lesund, Norway}, booktitle = {Proceedings of the 36th ECMS International Conference on Modelling and Simulation (ECMS 2022), May 30th - June 3rd, 2022, {\AA}lesund, Norway}, publisher = {ECMS}, isbn = {978-3-937436-77-7}, issn = {2522-2414}, doi = {10.7148/2022-0114}, pages = {114 -- 120}, abstract = {This article describes primary findings of various simulation runs on job shop scheduling dealing with energy consumption and emission pollution.

We focus on the use of mobile robots in production environments with a high level of uncertainty which places hight demand on the flexibility of the online scheduling architecture. A sequential single-item (SSI) auction algorithm is validated for a real-world use case where multiple mobile robots supply car bodies to manual rework stations in a paint shop application using simulation.

If it concerns the first company in a supply chain, it causes correspondingly significant delays in promised deadlines for subsequent companies in the supply chain, including a correspondingly significant increase in costs.

This article responds to research gaps identified in our previous literature review. Accordingly, consideration of social aspects and the economic implications of social improvements are required in a longer term planning approach. For this, we integrate work intensity as employee utilization in a general mixed-integer programming model for master production scheduling. Following existing fatigue functions, we represent the relationship between work intensity and exhaustion through an employee-utilization-dependent exhaustion function. We account for the economic implications through exhaustion-dependent capacity load factors. We solve our model with a CPLEX standard solver and analyze a case study based on a realistic production system and numerical data. We demonstrate that the consideration of economic implications is necessary to evaluate social improvements. Otherwise, monetary disadvantages are overestimated, and social improvements are, thus, negatively affected. Moreover, from a certain level of work-intensity reduction, demand peaks are smoothed more by pre-production, which requires more core employees, while temporary employment is reduced. Further potential may arise from considering and quantifying other interdependencies, such as employee exhaustion and employee days off. In addition, the relationship between social working conditions and employee turnover can be integrated.}, language = {en} }
