Abstract
This paper presents a new due date driven Material Handling Rule Priority Index for material handling equipment
scheduling strategy. The development of an agent based material handling equipment control strategy using this
proposed priority index is described. The performance comparison of this model with the existing control strategies
is conducted via simulation considering average tardiness, maximum lateness, total number of tardy jobs and
average cycle time as the performance measures. The results of the comparison signify that the proposed procedure
provides superior performance over the other control strategies under the considered experimental setting.
