This article concerns the integration of planning and scheduling production system. Planning and scheduling are usually treated separately because of their complexity. Scheduling largely depends on the production quantities computed at the production planning level. However, ignoring scheduling constraints in the tactical level leads to inconsistent decisions. So, it is important to integrate planning and scheduling to efficiently manage operations and to determine a realistic production plan for a given sequence of jobs on each machine. In this paper, we present some approaches proposed to solve the problem and we realize a comparison between the two most interesting ones, using the standard solver CPLEX.
