Abstract
In contemporary manufacturing systems, re-scheduling of the production has become an unavoidable and critical phenomenon. There are many types of unexpected events, which can disrupt the normal operation of manufacturing systems. Therefore, the current research work focuses on identifying the critical reaction time for such events in order to keep productivity and costs at acceptable ranges. The events that are considered are defected part, new order and machine breakdown. Another factor that is studied and is linked with the reaction time is the number of re-schedules per day, because those can cause confusion and loss of productivity.
