As Manufacturing-as-a-Service (MaaS) ecosystems continue to grow, production planning becomes increasingly complex. Traditional optimization methods can accurately model these environments, but often struggle to scale to industrial workloads involving thousands of jobs.

At CPAIOR 2026 in Rabat, Morocco, we presented our latest research work on a hybrid Reinforcement Learning and Constraint Programming (RL–CP) approach that tackles this challenge by combining AI-driven decision-making with mathematical optimization.

The proposed framework uses Reinforcement Learning to guide high-level allocation decisions and Constraint Programming to generate detailed production schedules, achieving significant improvements in scalability and scheduling performance.
