Implementing a Simulation-based Scheduling System for a Two-plant Operation
نویسندگان
چکیده
Scheduling any complicated job shop becomes increasingly more difficult when the cycle time is reduced. This paper will discuss the implementation of a simulationbased scheduling system that properly schedules parts in a two-plant operation. The system has allowed the company to reduce the cycle time by at least a week from two/three weeks to one/two weeks. As part of the project, the generation of the input data needed to drive the simulation is also discussed since this data did not exist in the correct form. The model generation, simulation development, and experimentation will be discussed. The system that is described is currently being used to generate the schedules.

A new approach for constraining failure probability of a critical deteriorating system Yard crane scheduling in port container terminals using genetic algorithm
In this paper, we focus on a continuously deteriorating critical equipment which its failure cannot be measured by cost criterion. For these types of systems like military systems, nuclear systems, etc it is extremely important to avoid failure during the actual operation of the system. In this paper we propose an approach which constrains failure probability to a pre-specified value. This valu...
متن کاملCoordinated resource scheduling in a large scale virtual power plant considering demand response and energy storages
Virtual power plant (VPP) is an effective approach to aggregate distributed generation resources under a central control. This paper introduces a mixed-integer linear programming model for optimal scheduling of the internal resources of a large scale VPP in order to maximize its profit. The proposed model studies the effect of a demand response (DR) program on the scheduling of the VPP. The pro...

متن کاملOptimization of the Microgrid Scheduling with Considering Contingencies in an Uncertainty Environment
In this paper, a stochastic two-stage model is offered for optimization of the day-ahead scheduling of the microgrid. System uncertainties including dispatchable distributed generation and energy storage contingencies are considered in the stochastic model. For handling uncertainties, Monte Carlo simulation is employed for generation several scenarios and then a reduction method is used to decr...
