In this paper, an integrated due date assignment, and delivery scheduling of order for multi customer for make to order production system in supply chain has been survered. One manufacture received n orders from K customers. The due date of orders for each customer is common and manufacture can assign the due dates with a related cost. Orders must be process by one machine and send to customers...

In the realm of scheduling problems, different sources of uncertainty such as probabilistic durations of jobs or stochastic breakdowns of machines can arise. Given this, one highly desirable characteristic of an intelligent schedule is to bring better punctuality with less efficiency-loss because a dominant factor in customer appreciation is punctuality. It is also one of the most intangible to...

We study a single-machine scheduling problem in a flexible framework where both job processing times and due dates are decision variables to be determined by the scheduler. The model can also be applied for quoting delivery times when some parts of the jobs may be outsourced. We analyze the problem with common due date assignment and a convex resource consumption function. We provide a bicriter...

In this paper, we propose variable voltage task scheduling algorithms that minimize energy or minimize peak power for the case when the task arrival times, deadline times, execution times, periods, and switching activities are given. We consider aperiodic (earliest due date, earliest deadline first), as well as periodic (rate monotonic, earliest deadline first) scheduling algorithms. We use the...

The scheduling of logistic processes modeled by birth-anddeath processes is a combinatorial problem. We consider here the problem of dynamic assignment of components to orders. In this paper, a distributed algorithm based on ant colonies is proposed to optimize this assignment. The ant-agents jointly test several different combinations and choose the solution that is able to deliver more orders...
