چکیده

One of the main restrictions in scheduling problems are the machine (resource) restrictions: each machine can perform at most one job at a time. We explore machine dependencies is shop scheduling problems representing them as graphs. Our study shows that the structure of machine dependency graphs is important in the complexity analysis of shop scheduling problems. We call acyclic a shop scheduling problem with the acyclic machine dependency graph. Here we first consider the periodic jobshop scheduling problem and present a linear-time algorithm for its subclass which machine dependency graphs are allowed to have only simple so-called parti-colored cycles. This result is tight as the trivial extension of the problem becomes NP-hard. We show that the acyclic preemptive open-shop problem with at most m− 2 preemptions can be solved in linear time. This result is also tight as the same problem with at most m − 3 preemptions is NP-hard. We also show that very simple acyclic shop scheduling problems are NP-hard; for example, any flow-shop with a single job with three operations and the rest of the jobs with a single non-zero length operation is

Optimality of the flexible job shop scheduling system based on Gravitational Search Algorithm

The Flexible Job Shop Scheduling Problem (FJSP) is one of the most general and difficult of all traditional scheduling problems. The Flexible Job Shop Problem (FJSP) is an extension of the classical job shop scheduling problem which allows an operation to be processed by any machine from a given set. The problem is to assign each operation to a machine and to order the operations on the machine...

Generalized Cyclic Open Shop Scheduling and a Hybrid Algorithm

In this paper, we first introduce a generalized version of open shop scheduling (OSS), called generalized cyclic open shop scheduling (GCOSS) and then develop a hybrid method of metaheuristic to solve this problem. Open shop scheduling is concerned with processing n jobs on m machines, where each job has exactly m operations and operation i of each job has to be processed on machine i . However...

Net Present Value of Cash Flows in Single Machine and Flow Shop Scheduling Problems

While a great portion of the scheduling literature focuses on time-based criteria, the most important goal of management is maximizing the profitability of the firm. In this paper, the net preset value criterion is studied taking account of linear time-dependent cash flows in single machine and flow shop scheduling problems. First, a heuristic method is presented for the single machine scheduli...
