چکیده

The COSAR project Combination of Optimisation and Simulation in the Assessment of Risk aims to investigate the combination of optimisation and simulation techniques to better deal with uncertainty in manufacturing environments. As a pilot study, we investigated the generation of robust dispatch rules for high-volume cartoning of contact lenses. It is often di cult to determine initially the best set of rules. Here we demonstrate how an initial good set of rules, generated from an optimization model can be improved (manually) through information from a simulation model.

Simulation-based Synthesis of Composite Dispatching Rules

This paper describes the simulation-based synthesis of optimum dispatching rules for the wafer test area of a semiconductor production plant. The target of the optimisation task is the minimum average lead time under the constraint of maintaining on-time delivery. Dispatching is a very fast and robust technique for sequence-planning even when cycle times are not perfectly controlled. A broad ra...

New scheduling rules for a dynamic flexible flow line problem with sequence-dependent setup times

In the literature, the application of multi-objective dynamic scheduling problem and simple priority rules are widely studied. Although these rules are not efficient enough due to simplicity and lack of general insight, composite dispatching rules have a very suitable performance because they result from experiments. In this paper, a dynamic flexible flow line problem with sequence-dependent se...

Simulation And Selection Of Efficient Decision Rules In Bank's Manual Underwriting Process

Bank’s manual underwriting involves a group of underwriting inspectors, which perform a known set of procedures with the loan applications submitted by the borrowers, in order to determine the risk of providing a loan and eventually approve or disapprove it. Due to the fact that the evaluation process of applications must satisfy quality of service requirements usually set at legislator level a...

The performance of load-selection rules and pickup-dispatching rules for multiple-load AGVs

In this paper, we address the problem of load selection and pickup-dispatching of multiple-load AGVs. Various load-selection rules and pickup-dispatching rules are proposed and studied. The objective of this study is twofold. We want to understand not only the performance of load-selection rules and pickup-dispatching rules in two performance criteria—throughput and tardiness, but also the effe...

Learning Dispatching Rules for Scheduling: A Synergistic View Comprising Decision Trees, Tabu Search and Simulation

A promising approach for an effective shop scheduling that synergizes the benefits of the combinatorial optimization, supervised learning and discrete-event simulation is presented. Though dispatching rules are in widely used by shop scheduling practitioners, only ordinary performance rules are known; hence, dynamic generation of dispatching rules is desired to make them more effective in chang...
