Cyclic scheduling in 3-machine robotic ow shops
نویسندگان
چکیده
We consider a robotic ow shop model in which a single robot is responsible for the transportation of parts between machines. For reasons of simplicity, when the shop is to produce a large number of identical parts, the robot usually performs repeatedly a xed sequence of activities. This sequence of activities is called a 1-unit cycle if each execution of the sequence results in the production of exactly one part. It has been conjectured that 1-unit cycles yield optimal production rates for 3-machine robotic ow shops. We establish the validity of this conjecture. keywords : cyclic scheduling, sequencing, automated manufacturing, ow shop.

A New Solution for the Cyclic Multiple-Part Type Three-Machine Robotic Cell Problem based on the Particle Swarm Meta-heuristic
In this paper, we develop a new mathematical model for a cyclic multiple-part type threemachine robotic cell problem. In this robotic cell a robot is used for material handling. The objective is finding a part sequence to minimize the cycle time (i.e.; maximize the throughput) with assumption of known robot movement. The developed model is based on Petri nets and provides a new method to calcul...

متن کاملA scalarization-based method for multiple part-type scheduling of two-machine robotic systems with non-destructive testing technologies
This paper analyzes the performance of a robotic system with two machines in which machines are configured in a circular layout and produce non-identical parts repetitively. The non-destructive testing (NDT) is performed by a stationary robotic arm located in the center of the circle, or a cluster tool. The robotic arm integrates multiple tasks, mainly the NDT of the part and its transition bet...
متن کاملA heuristic for scheduling two-machine no-wait flow shops with anticipatory setups
We consider a problem of scheduling jobs in two-machine no-wait ow shops for which the objective is to minimize the makespan. Each job, upon completion of its processing on the rst machine, must be transferred immediately to the second machine due to a no-wait in process constraint. Every job requires a setup time on each machine before it is processed. The setup on the second machine is antici...
متن کاملGeneralized Cyclic Open Shop Scheduling and a Hybrid Algorithm
In this paper, we first introduce a generalized version of open shop scheduling (OSS), called generalized cyclic open shop scheduling (GCOSS) and then develop a hybrid method of metaheuristic to solve this problem. Open shop scheduling is concerned with processing n jobs on m machines, where each job has exactly m operations and operation i of each job has to be processed on machine i . However...
