Abstract
A planning and scheduling system, which handles generation of a global workflow sequence for multiple workflow stages of a workflow unit, determines a first workflow sequence for a primary workflow stage of the workflow unit for a plurality of product items. The one or more second workflow sequences are generated for one or more secondary workflow stages of the workflow unit concurrently based on a transformation of the determined first workflow sequence. A global workflow sequence is obtained for the primary workflow stage and the one or more secondary workflow stages based on at least the determined first workflow sequence for the primary workflow stage and the generated one or more second workflow sequences. A set of operations for the plurality of product items is executed based on the obtained global workflow sequence to maximize a performance score for the executed set of operations on the plurality of product items.
