چکیده

We study the approximability of minimum total weighted tardiness with a modified objective which includes an additive constant. This ensures the existence of a positive lower bound for the minimum value. Moreover the new objective has a natural interpretation in Just-In-Time production systems.

َA Multi-objective simulated annealing algorithm to solving flexible no-wait flowshop scheduling problems with transportation times

This paper deals with a bi-objective hybrid no-wait flowshop scheduling problem minimizing the makespan and total weighted tardiness, in which we consider transportation times between stages. Obtaining an optimal solution for this type of complex, large-sized problem in reasonable computational time by using traditional approaches and optimization tools is extremely difficult. This paper presen...

A Set of Algorithms for Solving the Generalized Tardiness Flowshop Problems

This paper considers the problem of scheduling n jobs in the generalized tardiness flow shop problem with m machines. Seven algorithms are developed for finding a schedule with minimum total tardiness of jobs in the generalized flow shop problem. Two simple rules, the shortest processing time (SPT), and the earliest due date (EDD) sequencing rules, are modified and employed as the core of seque...

Fuzzy Programming for Parallel Machines Scheduling: Minimizing Weighted Tardiness/Earliness and Flow Time through Genetic Algorithm

Appropriate scheduling and sequencing of tasks on machines is one of the basic and significant problems that a shop or a factory manager encounters; this is why in recent decades extensive studies have been done on scheduling issues. One type of scheduling problems is just-in-time (JIT) scheduling and in this area, motivated by JIT manufacturing, this study investigates a mathematical model for...

حل مسئله زمان بندی ماشینهای موازی نامرتبط با اهداف کل زودکرد وزنی و کل دیرکرد وزنی با استفاده از الگوریتم جستجوی پراکنده چند هدفه

The parallel machine scheduling problem is an important and difficult problem to be considered in the real-world situations. Traditionally, this problem consists of the scheduling of a set of independent jobs on parallel machines with the aim of minimizing the maximum job completion. In today's manufacturing systems, in which both early and tardy finishing of job processing are undesired, the o...
