摘要

Industrial timetabling is a critical task for decision-makers across various sectors to ensure efficient system operation. In real-world settings, it remains challenging because unexpected events often disrupt execution. When such events arise, effective rescheduling and collaboration between humans and machines become essential. This paper presents a recommendation system-based framework for handling rescheduling challenges, built on Timefold, a powerful AI-driven planning engine. Our experimental study evaluates nine instances inspired by a real-world preventive maintenance use case, aiming to identify the heuristic that best balances solution quality and computing time to support near-optimal decision-making when rescheduling is required due to unexpected events during operational days. Finally, we illustrate the complete process of our recommendation system through a simple use case.
