Abstract
Based on actual industrial project on which the Gerstner laboratory has collaborated, we present a multiple-level scheduling approach as a mean to efficiently apply agent-based planning systems in high-volume production environment. Brief description of efficient and reconfigurable high-level scheduler based on linear programming, as well as design elements of low-level agent-based planning are included
