Abstract

The invention relates to a system and a method for controlling jobs of a production device. The aim of the invention is to allow a current situation to be analyzed and the required operations to be planned, executed, and monitored irrespective of mathematical routines for optimizing the throughput. Said aim is achieved by the fact that a simulated image is formed starting from an initial situation based on real resources and real jobs, a potential sequence of jobs is optimized based on the initial situation regarding available resources and available jobs with the aid of an optimization algorithm, and the production device is controlled with the aid of a solution algorithm such that a target state is determined by simulating the required operations of the production device.
