Supply chain scheduling is the very heartbeat of all supply chain systems. Optimization of the supply chain scheduling can help increase agility while reduce the running cost of corporations. Complying with its structure, supply chain of the networked manufacturing has the characteristics of distributed, multi plants and multi stages. In this paper, a thorough research was first done on the dec...

It is significant to discover a global optimization in the problems dealing with large dimensional scales to increase the quality of decision-making in the mining operation. It has been broadly confirmed that the long-term production scheduling (LTPS) problem performs a main role in mining projects to develop the performance regarding the obtainability of constraints, while maximizing the whole...

Title of Thesis: LARGE-SCALE EVACUATION ROUTING AND SCHEDULING OPTIMIZATION WITH UNINTERRUPTED TRAFFIC FLOW Xuechi Zhang, Master of Science, 2014 Directed By: Dr. Ali Haghani Department of Civil Engineering In many emergency management operations, an efficient evacuation strategy is of great importance because if it is successful, it has the ability to significantly reduce the loss of property ...

In this paper we explain an estimation function for the crew scheduling problem in the coach transportation domain. Thanks to this function we obtain an estimation that is very close to the real cost of the solution and we can efficiently prune the search space with a branch and bound approach. Consequently we find the optimal solution in less time than with other estimations such as the Russian

This paper describes a project concerned with the development of a mission planning system to provide automated planning assistance for the Air Force TechSat 21 formation-flying satellite cluster experiment: Spacecraft Cluster Automatic Planner/Scheduler (SpaceCAPS). The project’s focus is on planning and scheduling for payload management, but the system serves as a central planning system for ...

The application of static optimization techniques such as branch-and-bound to real-time task scheduling has been investigated. Few pieces of work, however, have been reported which propose and investigate online optimization techniques for dynamic scheduling of real-time tasks. In such task domains, the d@iculty of scheduling is exacerbated by the fact that the cost of scheduling itself contrib...

Although lot streaming scheduling is an active research field, lot streaming flexible flow lines problems have received far less attention than classical flow shops. This paper deals with scheduling jobs in lot streaming flexible flow line problems. The paper mathematically formulates the problem by a mixed integer linear programming model. This model solves small instances to optimality. Moreo...

An integrated scheduling system with demand forecasting has been developed. The SARIMA (seasonal autoregressive integrated moving average) model is automated to forecast the demand. In order to reduce the cost and instability of production scheduling, a safety inventory determination is also automated additionally. A scheduling system based on the mathematical model and the efficient optimizati...
