ABSTRACT:
Systems, methods, and computer program products are provided for planning production processes. In one implementation, a method is provided that includes the steps of planning a sequence of processes running on a resource, where the planning takes into account setup times for the resource for a process depending at least on predecessor process information, storing the sequence of processes, and defining time intervals for the resource within which setup times for processes are held constant independently of the predecessor process information.
