Abstract:

A chance-constraint multi-objective model under uncertainty in the availability of subassemblies is proposed for scheduling in ATO systems. The on-time delivery of customer orders as well as reducing the company's cost is crucial; therefore, a three-objective model is proposed including the minimization of1) overtime, idletime, change-over, and setup costs, 2) total dispersion of items’ delivery times in customers’ orders, and 3) tardiness and earliness costs.In order to reduce the involved risk,the uncertainty in the subassembly availabilities is addressed via a chance-constrained programming. The lexicographic method is employed to solve the model. The performance and validity is then evaluated using the real data from an electrical company. Notably, the decision maker can draw the appropriate results by a priority establishment between the costs and delivery time objectives. Moreover, formulating the existing uncertainty in the subassembly availabilities helps avoiding delay in the orders’ completion dates. Finally, applying joint lot size policy leads to a more proper scheduling of assembly sequence.

A multi-objective genetic algorithm (MOGA) for hybrid flow shop scheduling problem with assembly operation

Scheduling for a two-stage production system is one of the most common problems in production management. In this production system, a number of products are produced and each product is assembled from a set of parts. The parts are produced in the first stage that is a fabrication stage and then they are assembled in the second stage that usually is an assembly stage. In this article, the first...

A Multi Objective Chance Constrained Programming Model for Intermodal Logistics with Uncertain Time

This paper presents a multi objective chance constrained programming model for matching of goods and transports in an intermodal transport chain under uncertain delivery time. The objectives in the proposed model are cost, emission, and transport time, where time is considered as an uncertain parameter. An approach to solve the model is proposed, and this approach has been implemented in a web-...

Uncertain Chance-constrained Programming Model for Project Scheduling Problem

Project scheduling problem is to determine the schedule of allocating the loans to a project in order to balance the total cost and the completion time of the project under some constraints. This paper considers project scheduling problem in an uncertain environment, of which the duration time of each activity is an uncertain variable. Then uncertain chance-constrained programming model is cons...
