scheduling of production in flexible manufacturing systems (fmss) has been extensively investigated over the past years and it continues to attract the interest of both academic researchers and practitioners. the generation of new and modified production schedules is becoming a necessity in today’s complex manufacturing environment. genetic algorithms are used in this paper to obtain an initial...

Many manufacturing facilities generate and update production schedules, which are plans that state when certain controllable activities (e.g., processing of jobs by resources) should take place. Production schedules help managers and supervisors coordinate activities to increase productivity and reduce operating costs. Because a manufacturing system is dynamic and unexpected events occur, resch...

Many production facilities generate and update production schedules. Rescheduling is necessary because the manufacturing system is dynamic and unexpected events occur. This paper discusses rescheduling policies and how they affect the performance of manufacturing systems. The benefits of proper rescheduling include improved manufacturing system performance with reduced cost due to computational...

The rescheduling strategy of semiconductor production refers to deciding when to start a rescheduling procedure and what kind of rescheduling method to be adopted. Both of the two problems are ill-structured and involve some fuzzy and random information. In order to solve this kind of production problem, a fuzzy Petri nets based rescheduling model (FPN-R) is proposed. FPN-R is defined as a 7-tu...

When a vehicle on a scheduled trip breaks down, one or more vehicles need to be rescheduled to serve the customers on that trip with minimum operating and delay costs. The problem of reassigning vehicles in real-time to this cut trip as well as to other scheduled trips with given starting and ending times, is referred to as the vehicle rescheduling problem (VRSP). This paper considersmodeling, ...

A computerized system for appointment scheduling, medical record keeping, medical billing, patient tracking, and epidemiologic data generation was developed and applied in an indigent pediatric otologic clinic. Functions used to augment appointment compliance are 1) notifying the referring physicians, agencies, and health department coordinators of failed appointments and sending medical inform...

To narrow the scope of rescheduling tasks is one of the effective ways to improve the grid dependent tasks rescheduling efficiency. For how to determine the scope which should improve the efficiency of rescheduling problem as far as possible without affecting the application performance, this paper proposed the rescheduling tasks spread domain concept and its method of computation. Beginning wi...

This paper investigates replanning strategies for container-transportation task allocation of autonomous Straddle Carriers (SC) at automated container terminals. The strategies address the problem of large-scale scheduling in the context of uncertainty (especially uncertainty associated with unexpected events such as the arrival of a new task). Two rescheduling policies Rescheduling New arrival...
