The authors discuss the concept and design criteria for a framework that facilitates the performance assessment of shop-floor control systems. Their basic concept includes a simulation model that emulates the shop floor of a wafer fab, sends information to the control system, and receives information back from the control system. The shop-floor control system is realized as a separate module th...

In this paper we discuss the concept and design criteria for a framework that facilitates the performance assessment of shop-floor control systems. Our basic concept includes a simulation model that emulates the shop-floor of a wafer fab, sends information to the control system, and receives information back from the control system. The shop-floor control system is realized as a separate module...

Flexible job-shop scheduling problem derived from the job-shop scheduling problem, and is more realistic than the job-shop scheduling problem in the manufacturing enterprise. It should be utilized with high efficiency. But it is a multi-objective optimal problem. Three minimization objectives (Maximum completion time (makespan), Total workload of machines and Workload of the critical machine) a...

We report a case of foreign body presence in the ethmoid sinus cavity with anterior skull base fracture and visual loss. A 42-year-old male had an uncertain history of trauma and a penetrating wound near the left medial canthus. Computed tomography imaging showed a 3.0-cm bottle cap penetrating into the anterior skull base. He underwent foreign body removal, canalicular repair, ethmoidectomy, a...

We combine genetic algorithms and case-based reasoning principles to nd optimally directed solutions to open shop scheduling and open shop rescheduling problems. Appropriate solutions to open shop scheduling problems are injected into the genetic algorithm's population to speed up and augment genetic search on a related open shop rescheduling problem. Preliminary results indicate that the combi...

Flexible job shop scheduling problem, is an extension of the classical job shop scheduling problem. In Flexible job shop scheduling problem, there are more than one machine with the same features for the same purpose. The problem can be defined as appointing the jobs to the machines (assignment) and ordering the jobs at each machine (sequencing) to serve the desired purpose. Multi-objective fle...

abstract   background: different methods of surgical treatment for acromioclavicular(ac) joint injury were considered in the literature. the purpose of the study was to compare intra- articular ac repair technique with the extra-articular coracoclavicular repair technique for the patients with rockwood type iii and vac joint injury when indicated.   methods: nineteen consecutive patients with r...

In this paper, mathematical models for permutation flow shop scheduling and job shop scheduling problems are proposed. The first problem is based on a mixed integer programming model. As the problem is NP-complete, this model can only be used for smaller instances where an optimal solution can be computed. For large instances, another model is proposed which is suitable for solving the problem ...

Industry 4.0 introduced a new change in paradigms and technologies the industry. In shop schedule, it gains holistic viewpoint online demands, real-time reactive methodologies. Developments scheduling area are critical to success. First addressed by Brucker Schlie 1990, Flexible Job-Shop Scheduling Problem has been attracting researchers practitioners over last decades. This body of research ma...
