Application of Neural Networks to Scheduling Problem including Transportation Time

Application of Neural Networks to Scheduling Problem including Transportation Time

This paper presents an approach for finding an optimal schedule of n-jobs and m-machines flowshop scheduling problem involving transportation time between jobs by using neural networks. An algorithm has been given for finding the optimal sequence in scheduling problem without transportation time [2]. Here, this algorithm is applied when transportation times are involved between machines to find...

Two Stage Flow Shop Scheduling Problem Including Transportation Time and Weightage of Jobs with Branch and Bound Method

Train Scheduling Problem with Consideration of Praying Constraint as an Application of Job Shop Scheduling Problem

The present paper extends the idea of job shop scheduling problem with resting constraints to the train scheduling problem with the Muslim praying considerations. For this purpose, after proposing the new mathematical model, a heuristic algorithm based on the Electromagnetism-Like algorithm (EM) which is well adjusted to scheduling problems is employed to solve the large-size practical cases. T...

Bi-objective Optimization for Just in Time Scheduling: Application to the Two-Stage Assembly Flow Shop Problem

This paper considers a two-stage assembly flow shop problem (TAFSP) where m machines are in the first stage and an assembly machine is in the second stage. The objective is to minimize a weighted sum of earliness and tardiness time for n available jobs. JIT seeks to identify and eliminate waste components including over production, waiting time, transportation, inventory, movement and defective...

The Application of Combined Fuzzy Clustering Model and Neural Networks to Measure Valuably of Bank Customers

Currently, acquisition of resources in banks is subject to attraction of the resources of banking customers. Meanwhile, the Bank’s valuable customers are one of the best resources to make profit for banks. Several different models are introduced for evaluation of profitability of the customers; but most of them are classical models and they are unable to evaluate the customers in complete and o...
