The scheduling applied to manufacturing represents a huge opportunity for companies to stand out in a world of fast and big changes. Having a reliable scheduling system will allow factories to deal with the significant demand for highly customized products. Although manufacturing scheduling has been deeply studied for decades, there is still a gap between academia and industry, namely because the lack of flexibility and homogeneity among scheduling solutions, which makes them very use case-oriented. Furthermore, the absence of standardization is also making it difficult to implement smart scheduling solutions in industrial scenarios. Thus, this work presents a set of requirements and design principles based on axiomatic design concept, to make the first steps to standardize the designing and development of manufacturing scheduling solutions in the context of Industry 4.0. At the end, is presented a scheduling generic framework targeting smart manufacturing and evaluated in a practical use case.
