A Finite-capacity Beam-search-algorithm for Production Scheduling in Semiconductor Manufacturing
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we describe a finite-capacity algorithm that can be used for production scheduling in a semiconductor wafer fabrication facility (wafer fab). The algorithm is a beam-search-type algorithm. We describe the basic features of the algorithm. The implementation of the algorithm is based on the ILOG-Solver libraries. We describe the simulation environment, which is used to evaluate the performance of the proposed algorithm. We show some results from computational experiments with the algorithm and the simulation test-bed described.

A novel mathematical model for a hybrid flow shop scheduling problem under buffer and resource limitations-A case study
Scheduling problems play a big role in manufacturing and planning the production for increasing the production efficiency and assigning the resources to operations. Furthermore, in many manufacturing systems there is a physical space between stages that called intermediate buffers. In this study, a model is proposed for minimizing the makespan of a hybrid flow shop scheduling problem with inter...
متن کاملOptimisation of assembly scheduling in VCIM systems using genetic algorithm
Assembly plays an important role in any production system as it constitutes a significant portion of the lead time and cost of a product. Virtual computer-integrated manufacturing (VCIM) system is a modern production system being conceptually developed to extend the application of traditional computer-integrated manufacturing (CIM) system to global level. Assembly scheduling in VCIM systems is ...

In this paper an integrated lot-sizing and scheduling problem in a flexible job shop environment with machine-capacity-constraint is studied. The main objective is to minimize the total cost which includes the inventory costs, production costs and the costs of machine’s idle times. First, a new mixed integer programming model,with small bucket time approach,based onProportional Lot sizing and S...
متن کاملA Hierarchical Production Planning and Finite Scheduling Framework for Part Families in Flexible Job-shop (with a case study)
Tendency to optimization in last decades has resulted in creating multi-product manufacturing systems. Production planning in such systems is difficult, because optimal production volume that is calculated must be consistent with limitation of production system. Hence, integration has been proposed to decide about these problems concurrently. Main problem in integration is how we can relate pro...
متن کاملGeneralized 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...
