Online scheduling can be also considered as one of key enablers to realize prompt capable-to-promise as well as available-to-promise to customers along with reducing production lead times under recent globalized competitive markets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eOnline Scheduling in Manufacturing\u003c\/i\u003e introduces new approaches to online scheduling based on a concept of cumulative delay. The cumulative delay is regarded as consolidated information of uncertainties under a dynamic environment in manufacturing and can be collected constantly without much effort at any points in time during a schedule execution. In this approach, the cumulative delay of the schedule has the important role of a criterion for making a decision whether or not a schedule revision is carried out. The cumulative delay approach to trigger schedule revisions has the following capabilities for the practical decision-making:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1. To reduce frequent schedule revisions which do not necessarily improve a current situation with much expense for its operation;\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e2.
