Scheduling in Flexible Manufacturing Systems

چکیده
One of the major problems confronting the search for efficiency in flexible manufacturing systems is the problem of loading and scheduling. This abstract presents a new method to solve such problems. The methodology, which is based on the use of genetic algorithms, allows simple codification of problems and thus facilitates its use. Two kinds of solution are proposed – that is, loading and scheduling either jointly or separately – and comparisons are drawn to see which offers the best solution.

Nowadays, flexible manufacturing system (FMS) is introduced as a response to the competitive environment. Scheduling of FMS is more complex and more difficult than the other scheduling production systems. One of the main factors in scheduling of FMS is variable time of taking orders from customers, which leads to a sudden change in the manufacturing process. Also, some problems are created in p...

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...
