Mixed Integer Linear Programs for Blocking and No Wait Job Shop Scheduling Problems in Robotic cells

چکیده
This paper studies the problem of scheduling Job shops in robotic cells with no intermediate buffers, called No Wait Blocking Transport Job Shop Scheduling Problem (NWBT JSSP). This problem is an extension of the classical job shop problem. No Wait Blocking Transport job shop problems arise in many realistic production environments. To tackle this problem, we developed a Mixed Integer Linear Program and proposed a constructive heuristic based on priority rules. The MILP model has been used to solve optimally problems with as many as ten jobs, ten machines and three robots. Computational results on hypothetically generated test problems are discussed and suggestions of future research projects are proposed.

متن کاملComparing Mixed-Integer and Constraint Programming for the No-Wait Flow Shop Problem with Due Date Constraints
The impetus for this research was examining a flow shop problem in which tasks were expected to be successively carried out with no time interval (i.e., no wait time) between them. For this reason, they should be completed by specific dates or deadlines. In this regard, the efficiency of the models was evaluated based on makespan. To solve the NP-Hard problem, we developed two mathematical mode...
متن کاملSolving Re-entrant No-wait Flow Shop Scheduling Problem
In this study, we consider the production environment of no-wait reentrant flow shop with the objective of minimizing makespan of the jobs. In a reentrant flow shop, at least one job should visit at least one of the machines more than once. In a no-wait flowshop scheduling problem, when the process of a specific job begins on the first machine, it should constantly be processed without waiting ...
متن کاملA New Approach in Job Shop Scheduling: Overlapping Operation
In this paper, a new approach to overlapping operations in job shop scheduling is presented. In many job shops, a customer demand can be met in more than one way for each job, where demand determines the quantity of each finished job ordered by a customer. In each job, embedded operations can be performed due to overlapping considerations in which each operation may be overlapped with the other...
متن کاملModeling and scheduling no-idle hybrid flow shop problems
Although several papers have studied no-idle scheduling problems, they all focus on flow shops, assuming one processor at each working stage. But, companies commonly extend to hybrid flow shops by duplicating machines in parallel in stages. This paper considers the problem of scheduling no-idle hybrid flow shops. A mixed integer linear programming model is first developed to mathematically form...
