Abstract
Reviews a critical aspect of job shop scheduling research, namely the decision regarding release timing of orders to the manufacturing shopfloor. Covers articles specifically addressing the order release problem; the information should prove helpful for researchers employing order release policies in their research. The release decision literature is classified into three areas: descriptive studies including case and survey research, analytical or optimization‐based research, and simulations of theoretical and empirically derived job shops. Presents tables describing the release rules and summarizing the characteristics of the simulation research. Identifies a number of topics within the order release research area in need of further investigation, including the comparison of larger sets of release rules, the use of more realistic simulation models such as the dual resource constrained job shop model, the need for further empirical identification of release policies, and the use of release policies that consider dynamic shop conditions.Keywords
