The paper describes an approach for integrating planning capabilities into production scheduling. We give an abstract view of production scheduling that motivates the integration and we compare the existing solving technologies in respect to their power for planning and scheduling integration. A new formal model of production scheduling is proposed and its realization in the Visopt ShopFloor sy...

This paper considers the Economic Lot Scheduling Problem, that is, the problem of scheduling several products on a single facility so as to minimize holding and setup costs. Combination of frequency and timing as well as production quantity make this problem Np-hard. A heuristic is developed to obtain a good solution to ELSP. The proposed heuristic makes use of the Simulated Annealing Technique...

This paper presents a simulation analysis on the effects of robust master production scheduling. Up to now, relatively highly aggregated planning models for robust master production scheduling were regarded and the realizability of the planning results was not considered. This paper analyses a more detailed model for master production scheduling than in previous works. The evaluation of the pla...

job shop scheduling problem has significant importance in many researchingfields such as production management and programming and also combinedoptimizing. job shop scheduling problem includes two sub-problems: machineassignment and sequence operation performing. in this paper combination ofparticle swarm optimization algorithm (pso) and gravitational search algorithm(gsa) have been presented f...

making a rational decision about the free production capacity of a firm requires accurate and comprehensive information in different fields such as unscheduled time of the machines, materials or other required resources status in the firm and the related supply chain. in this study, we try to achieve the needed information through integrating advanced available-to-promise mechanism with schedul...

this study investigates the coordination of production scheduling and maintenance planning in theflow shop scheduling environment. the problem is considered in a bi-objective form, minimizing themakespan as the production scheduling criterion and minimizing the system unavailability as themaintenance planning criterion. the time interval between consecutive maintenance activities as well as the...

nowadays, scheduling problems have a considerable application in production and service systems. in this paper, we consider the scheduling of n jobs on a single machine assuming no machine idleness, non-preemptive jobs and equal process times. in many of previous researches, because of the delivery dalays and holding costs, earliness and tardiness penalties emerge in the form of linear combinat...

this paper presented a mixed integer programming for integrated scheduling and process planning. the presented process plan included some orders with precedence relations similar to multiple traveling salesman problem (mtsp), which was categorized as an np-hard problem. these types of problems are also called advanced planning because of simultaneously determining the appropriate sequence and m...

scheduling for job shop is very important in both fields of production management and combinatorial op-timization. however, it is quite difficult to achieve an optimal solution to this problem with traditional opti-mization approaches owing to the high computational complexity. the combination of several optimization criteria induces additional complexity and new problems. in this paper, we pro...
