Effective and efficient production scheduling is essential to modern production/manufacturing organisations. In this research proposal a new methodology for developing scheduling systems is proposed, which addresses two important issues: treating various types of uncertainty that exist in scheduling problems using fuzzy-logic based techniques, and considering multiple criteria which describe various performance measures of schedules. In addition, new fuzzy multicriteria rescheduling methods will be investigated to be used as response to various disruptions that can occur in a manufacturing environment. This proposal presents an ambitious (but achievable) multi-disciplinary programme of research which will attempt to draw together the three research themes (scheduling/rescheduling, fuzzy reasoning, multi-criteria decision making) with a specific aim of successfully tackling difficult, uncertain and dynamic real-world scheduling problems. In particular, our proposal will attempt to deal with these themes simultaneously which presents a significant research challenge.
