1. A computerized method for optimization of efficiency of a production floor producing three-dimensional products, said method comprising:
a) receiving input parameters comprising: job data, due dates, product design data, production floor resources available and inventory data; b) maintaining in memory manufacturing rules and objectives, comprising one or more of: nesting restrictions, manufacturing limitations, material utilization rules, and machine run rules; c) assigning relative weights of importance to said input parameters and to said manufacturing rules and objectives; d) computing, based on said input parameters, on said manufacturing rules and objectives and on said relative weights of importance, a production floor work plan schedule for production of three-dimensional products for selected jobs associated with the job data, whereby a production order specifies for at least one given job, one or more nests and resources to cut the one or more nests and to produce a final three-dimensional product; e) determining whether the production floor work plan schedule is efficient in utilization of materials and of said production floor resources available; if said schedule is determined to be efficient, outputting said production floor work plan schedule; f) if said computed production floor work plan schedule is determined to be inefficient, repeating steps (d) and (e) until said production floor work plan schedule is determined to be efficient. |
