A heuristic for scheduling two-machine no-wait flow shops with anticipatory setups
We consider a problem of scheduling jobs in two-machine no-wait ow shops for which the objective is to minimize the makespan. Each job, upon completion of its processing on the rst machine, must be transferred immediately to the second machine due to a no-wait in process constraint. Every job requires a setup time on each machine before it is processed. The setup on the second machine is antici...
متن کاملMinimizing Makespan in No-Wait Job Shops
In this paper we study polynomial time approximation schemes (PTASes) for the no-wait job shop scheduling problem with the makespan objective function. It is known that the problem is MaxSNP-hard in the case when each job is allowed to have three operations or more. We show that if each job has at most two operations, the problem admits a PTAS if the number of machines is a constant (i.e., not ...
متن کاملA Fluid Heuristic for Minimizing Makespan in Job Shops
We describe a simple online heuristic for scheduling job shops. We assume there is a fixed set of routes for the jobs, and many jobs, say N , on each route. The heuristic uses safety stocks and keeps the bottleneck machine busy at almost all times, while the other machines are paced by the bottleneck machine. We perform a probabilistic analysis of the heuristic, under some assumptions on the di...
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 کاملMeta heuristic for Minimizing Makespan in a Flow-line Manufacturing Cell with Sequence Dependent Family Setup Times
This paper presents a new mathematical model for the problem of scheduling part families and jobs within each part family in a flow line manufacturing cell where the setup times for each family are sequence dependent and it is desired to minimize the maximum completion time of the last job on the last machine (makespan) while processing parts (jobs) in each family together. Gaining an optimal s...
