Scheduling has become an attractive area for artificial intelligence researchers. On other hand, in today's real-world manufacturing systems, the importance of an efficient maintenance schedule program cannot be ignored because it plays an important role in the success of manufacturing facilities. A maintenance program may be considered as the heath care of manufacturing machines and equipments...

The power quality problem is now of a great concern to electric utilities of power industry and they are trying hard to supply their customers with a good quality of power especially in the open market. Due to the wide spread use of power electronics in every place in the power industry, the power supplied to the customers are now distorted in either the voltage signal or current signal or both...

In this article, equipment overhaul is considered in a multi-stage flow shop scheduling problem. problem, the equipments are disassembled first stage, and repairs done on parallel workshops second assembly operation third stage. Considering three-stage with machines stages new industry. The sequence of processing determined as well allocation should be such way that total completion time jobs m...

there are some machineries and equipments as well as relatively fix amount of human resources involved in any production process. in many cases, by observing operational method of a process, one may see that some of these machineries are not working, but on the other hand, other equipments are continuously working, and many parts are set in front of them, waiting to be set up over machines to c...

This paper provides a fundamental research review of Reconfigurable Manufacturing Systems (RMS), which uniquely explores the state-of-the-art in distributed and decentralized machine control intelligence. The aim this is to draw objective answers two proposed questions, relating to: (1) reconfigurable design industry adoption; (2) enabling present future state technology. Key areas reviewed inc...
