Abstract
We present a sequencing problem given on JIT (Just In Time) manufacturing
environments, with the objective of minimizing the variation of production rates (ORV:
Output Rate Variation). We propose an extension ofthis problem based on to require, to the
sequences, the preservation of the production mix throughout the manufacturing of the
products. To solve the ORVP (Output Rate Variation Problem) and the extended problem, we
propose algorithms based on BDP (Bounded Dynamic Programming).
