Resource-task network (rtn)-based templated production schedule optimization (pso) framework

An apparatus comprising:

• at least one processing device configured to:
• use templates to identify constraints and terms of at least one objective function associated with at least a portion of one or more processing targets, wherein at least one of the templates is based on a resource-task network (RTN) representation of resource nodes and task nodes associated with at least the portion of the one or more processing targets;
• generate one or more optimization problems, wherein the constraints and the at least one objective function represent at least part of the one or more optimization problems;
• and
• generate at least one candidate production schedule for at least the portion of the one or more processing targets using the one or more optimization problems.

A non-transitory computer readable medium storing computer readable program code that, when executed by one or more processors, causes the one or more processors to:

• use templates to identify constraints and terms of at least one objective function associated with at least a portion of one or more processing targets, wherein at least one of the templates is based on a resource-task network (RTN) representation of resource nodes and task nodes associated with at least the portion of the one or more processing targets;
• generate one or more optimization problems, wherein the constraints and the at least one objective function represent at least part of the one or more optimization problems;
• and
• generate at least one candidate production schedule for at least the portion of the one or more processing targets using the one or more optimization problems.
