A Real-time Methodology for Minimizing Flow Time in FMS with Full Routing Flexibility
نویسندگان
چکیده
A real time methodology with full routing flexibility is used for minimizing mean flow time in FMS. The combination of flexible alternative machines and flexible alternative operation sequences are used to obtain the full routing flexibility in flexible manufacturing system. Full routing flexibility offers decreasing cost, reducing waiting time and increasing efficiency. This paper presents an efficient continuous real-time routing strategy, namely full routing flexibility to minimise the system unbalance and maximise the system throughput by balancing the workload. Full routing flexibility provides significant improvement in system performance and shows how the routing control policies influence the system performance.

The static and analytic scheduling approach is very difficult to follow and is not always applicable in real-time. Most of the scheduling algorithms are designed to be established in offline environment. However, we are challenged with three characteristics in real cases: First, problem data of jobs are not known in advance. Second, most of the shop’s parameters tend to be stochastic. Third, th...
