چکیده
Scheduling is a critical need for manufacturing and service systems, and it is not exaggeration to say that e ective and timely scheduling can be the di erence between success and failure in an era when customers demand rapid response, product customization and low prices. As a result, there has been an explosion of Deterministic Scheduling papers over the decade with a strong group of researchers from Computer Science, Operational Research, and Industrial Engineering departments. Discrete Event Simulation (DES) has become a widely used technique to predict and ultimately improve the performance of manufacturing and service systems. In particular, DES is often used in capacity planning, to evaluate order release policies, and to evaluate dispatching policies. However, deterministic scheduling approaches are not often evaluated in this way. There is a well established research community focused on DES issues in Manufacturing and Services, mainly from Computer Science and Industrial Engineering departments. Further, advances in simulation design and analysis methodology is making optimization of DES models feasible. While both of these research communities are working to improve manufacturing and service system performance, the two groups rarely work together. Our goal was to bring these two communities together to see if synergistic results from interactions between them can be identi ed. In particular we set out to investigate issues common to both communities such as:

متن کاملStudy and Implementation of Lean Manufacturing in a Garment Manufacturing Company: Bangladesh Perspective
Lean manufacturing is a systematic approach to identifying and eliminating wastes (non-value added activities) through continuous improvement by conveying the product at the pull of the customer in pursuit of production. In a more basic term, more value with less work. Since lean manufacturing eliminates many of the problems associated with poor production scheduling and line balancing, lean ma...
متن کاملReal-time Scheduling of a Flexible Manufacturing System using a Two-phase Machine Learning Algorithm
The static and analytic scheduling approach is very difficult to follow and is not always applicable in real-time. Most of the scheduling algorithms are designed to be established in offline environment. However, we are challenged with three characteristics in real cases: First, problem data of jobs are not known in advance. Second, most of the shop’s parameters tend to be stochastic. Third, th...
متن کاملBi-level Model for Reliability based Maintenance and Job Scheduling
Many defects in manufacturing system are caused by human resources that show the significance of the human resources in manufacturing systems. Most manufacturers attempt to investigate the human resources in order to improve the work conditions and reduce the human error by providing a proper work-rest schedule. On the other hand, manufacturer deal with machine scheduling based on demand and wo...
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...
