Abstract
A method for processing workpieces using a resource includes generating a plurality of engagements for processing the workpieces by the resource. Each engagement is associated with one of the workpieces and has associated processing requirements. A first one of the plurality of engagements is designated as a seed engagement. A set of candidate engagements from the plurality of engagements having associated processing requirements compatible with the processing requirements of the seed engagement is identified. A combined engagement is generated including the seed engagement and at least one of the candidate engagements.
