چکیده

During the last 15 years, many mathematical models have been developed in order to solve process operation scheduling problems, using discrete or continuous time representations. In this paper, we present a unified representation and modeling approach for process scheduling problems. Four different time representations are presented, compared, and applied to single-stage and multi-stage batch scheduling problems, as well as crude-oil operations scheduling problems. We introduce three solution methods that can be used to achieve global optimality or obtain near-optimal solutions depending on the stop criterion used. Computational results show that the Multi-Operation Sequencing time representation is superior to the others as it allows efficient symmetry-breaking and requires fewer priority-slots, thus leading to smaller model sizes.

Exact Mixed Integer Programming for Integrated Scheduling and Process Planning in Flexible Environment

This paper presented a mixed integer programming for integrated scheduling and process planning. The presented process plan included some orders with precedence relations similar to Multiple Traveling Salesman Problem (MTSP), which was categorized as an NP-hard problem. These types of problems are also called advanced planning because of simultaneously determining the appropriate sequence and m...

MILP models and valid inequalities for the two-machine permutation flowshop scheduling problem with minimal time lags

In this paper, we consider the problem of scheduling on two-machine permutation flowshop with minimal time lags between consecutive operations of each job. The aim is to find a feasible schedule that minimizes the total tardiness. This problem is known to be NP-hard in the strong sense. We propose two mixed-integer linear programming (MILP) models and two types of valid inequalities which aim t...

A Mathematical Programming Model for Flow Shop Scheduling Problems for Considering Just in Time Production

  In this paper, we consider a flow shop scheduling problem with bypass consideration for minimizing the sum of earliness and tardiness costs. We propose a new mathematical modeling to formulate this problem. There are several constraints which are involved in our modeling such as the due date of jobs, the job ready times, the earliness and the tardiness cost of jobs, and so on. We apply adapte...

A mathematical model for the multi-mode resource investment problem

This paper presents an exact model for the resource investment problem with generalized precedence relations in which the minimum or maximum time lags between a pair of activities may vary depending on the chosen modes. All resources considered are renewable. The objective is to determine a mode and a start time for each activity so that all constraints are obeyed and the resource investment co...
