Ranking of sequencing rules in a job shop scheduling problem with preference selection index approach

Scheduling different jobs in an appropriate sequence are very important manufacturing industries due to the influence of conflicting criteria. It becomes difficult as job number increases numerous computations involved. In this article, six considered be treated on a machine one by one. Seven priority sequencing rules provide seven options for which assessed using set nine Preference selection index (PSI) approach, multi-criterion decision-making (MCDM) technique is proposed rank them from best worst. The PSI unlike other MCDM methods, does not require find relative significance criteria, reduces work finding weights criteria hence easy and effective tool decision making. A benchmark problem previous literature solved approach obtained results found correct.
