abstract

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 investigated models are very close to the actual scheduling problems, because they envisage the flexible job shop environments, heads, set-up times, arbitrary number of unavailability periods on all resources, arbitrary number of work-centers, any kind of cross-ability, any kind of resume-ability and several types of performance measures. the proposed model is presented to solve two-job problems because it is a graphical approach. however, it is concluded that the idea can be extended to n-dimensional problems as well.

Fuzzy job shop scheduling problem with availability constraints

This paper presents the fuzzy job shop scheduling problem with availability constraints. The objective is to find a schedule that maximizes the minimum agreement index subject to periodic maintenance, nonresumable jobs and fuzzy due-date. A random key genetic algorithm (RKGA) is proposed for the problem, in which a novel random key representation, a new decoding strategy incorporating maintenan...

Two-Job Shop Scheduling Problems with Availability Constraints

This paper addresses the complexity of scheduling problems considering two jobs to schedule and availability constraints imposed on the machines. A polynomial algorithm called temporized geometric approach is first proposed for the minimization of the makespan, under the non-preemption constraint. Then, a generalization to the preemptive case is developed. These algorithms are extensions of the...

Flexible Job-Shop Scheduling Problems

Planning and scheduling problems in various industrial environments are combinatorial and very difficult. Generally, it is extremely hard to solve these types of problems in their general form. Scheduling can be formulated as a problem of determining the best sequence to execute a set of tasks on a set of resources, respecting specific constraints like precedence or disjunctive constraints (Car...

Solving Flexible Job Shop Scheduling with Multi Objective Approach

  In this paper flexible job-shop scheduling problem (FJSP) is studied in the case of optimizing different contradictory objectives consisting of: (1) minimizing makespan, (2) minimizing total workload, and (3) minimizing workload of the most loaded machine. As the problem belongs to the class of NP-Hard problems, a new hybrid genetic algorithm is proposed to obtain a large set of Pareto-optima...

Reactive Search for Flexible Job Shop Scheduling

In the classical job shop scheduling problem (JSSP), n jobs are processed to completion on m unrelated machines. Each job requires processing on each machine exactly once. For each job, technology constraints specify a complete, distinct routing which is fixed and known in advance. Processing times are sequence-independent, fixed, and known in advance. Each machine is continuously available fro...
