High competition among industries nowadays,
requires companies to improve their production services. The
speed of production service time, with excellent quality, becomes
part of the company’s competitive advantage. This study aims
to compare several production scheduling methods which are
commonly used, so that efficient resource utilization can be
obtained. Production Scheduling Methods such as Make to
Order, Dannenbring, Branch and Bound, Nawaz Enscore and
Ham and Campbell Dudeck Smith were compared using one
case of tire retreading production. There were two jobs: tire
retreading for truck and bus. Each job, assigned to ten
workstations following its production steps. The results were
obtained that Dannenbring and Campbell Dudeck Smith gave
the same best results with the smallest makespan value,
equivalent to 48% efficiency
