Relaxation of the no-idle constraint in the flow-shop problem

چکیده
The max / / C idle no F − problem is solved by a branch and bound algorithm, or a mixed integer programming solver. This problem is known to be NP-hard. The noidle flow-shop configuration, where machines work continuously without idle intervals is an interesting manufacturing environment in many industries. The idle characteristic is a very strong constraint and it affects seriously the value of makespan ( max C ). Under some circumstances we can authorise some idle periods. But, we should choose the best location that maximises the degradation of the max C and the order on which an idle will be inserted.

Modeling 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...
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 کاملInvestigation of the two-machine flow shop scheduling problem to minimize total energy costs with time-dependent energy prices
In this paper, the problem of two-machine flow shop scheduling to minimize total energy costs under time-of-use tariffs is investigated. As the objective function of this study is not a regular measure, allowing intentional idle-time can be advantageous. So this study considers two approaches, one for non-delay version of the problem and the other one for a situation when inserting intentional ...
متن کاملThree Hybrid Metaheuristic Algorithms for Stochastic Flexible Flow Shop Scheduling Problem with Preventive Maintenance and Budget Constraint
Stochastic flexible flow shop scheduling problem (SFFSSP) is one the main focus of researchers due to the complexity arises from inherent uncertainties and also the difficulty of solving such NP-hard problems. Conventionally, in such problems each machine’s job process time may encounter uncertainty due to their relevant random behaviour. In order to examine such problems more realistically, fi...
متن کاملThe Preemptive Just-in-time Scheduling Problem in a Flow Shop Scheduling System
Flow shop scheduling problem has a wide application in the manufacturing and has attracted much attention in academic fields. From other point, on time delivery of products and services is a major necessity of companies’ todays; early and tardy delivery times will result additional cost such as holding or penalty costs. In this paper, just-in-time (JIT) flow shop scheduling problem with preemp...
