Abstract: In production scenarios, uncertainty in production times, and scrap rates is common. Uncertainty can be described by stochastic models that need continuous updates due to changing conditions. This paper models probability distributions and estimates their parameters from real-world data on processing times and scrap rates. It uses live fitting to identify timely changes in the data sets, comparing different distributions. The fitting and live fitting approaches are applied to data from a real production system to compare the goodness of fit for different distributions and to demonstrate the reliability of the reaction to changes in the input data. Data and probability estimations are categorised, and a concept combining simulation and optimisation models is developed to optimise scheduling. The vision of the research presented in this paper is an online approach that determines quasi-optimal schedules for production systems based on current data from the system and its environment.
