Scheduling and Controlling Work-In-Process : An On-line Study for Shop Problems

چکیده
In this paper, we address the problem of production systems having two characteristics. First, the manufacturing times can be chosen between given bounds. Such a production system is said to have controllable processing times. Second, an operation must start as soon as the previous operation on the same part (if any) is completed. A production system having this characteristic is said to be no-wait. Several on-line schedules are considered to minimize the makespan in flow shop and job shop situations. We prove that in the worst case, the makespan provided by these schedules is m times longer than the optimal one (for different flow shops and job shops), m being the number of machines. We give several related results on competitive ratio.

Flexible job shop scheduling under availability constraints
In this paper, an exact geometric algorithm is presented for solving two-job sequencing and scheduling problems in flexible flow shop and job shop environments while the resources are (un)available in some time periods and processors (un)availability is the same in all work centers. This study seems utterly new and it is applicable to any performance measure based on the completion time. The in...
متن کاملAn algorithm for multi-objective job shop scheduling problem
Scheduling for job shop is very important in both fields of production management and combinatorial op-timization. However, it is quite difficult to achieve an optimal solution to this problem with traditional opti-mization approaches owing to the high computational complexity. The combination of several optimization criteria induces additional complexity and new problems. In this paper, we pro...
متن کاملScheduling on flexible flow shop with cost-related objective function considering outsourcing options
This study considers outsourcing decisions in a flexible flow shop scheduling problem, in which each job can be processed by either an in-house production line or outsourced. The selected objective function aims to minimize the weighted sum of tardiness costs, in-house production costs, and outsourcing costs with respect to the jobs due date. The purpose of the problem is to select the jobs tha...
متن کاملA Simulated Annealing Algorithm for Multi Objective Flexible Job Shop Scheduling with Overlapping in Operations
In this paper, we considered solving approaches to flexible job shop problems. Makespan is not a good evaluation criterion with overlapping in operations assumption. Accordingly, in addition to makespan, we used total machine work loading time and critical machine work loading time as evaluation criteria. As overlapping in operations is a practical assumption in chemical, petrochemical, and gla...

متن کاملA 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...
