Tackling Complex Job Shop Problems Using Operation Based Scheduling

چکیده

Scheduling is a combinatorial problem with important impact on both industry and commerce. If it is performed well it yields time and efficiency benefits and hence reduces costs. Genetic Algorithms have been applied to solve several types of scheduling problems; Flow Shop, Resource, Staff and Line Balancing have all been tackled. However Jobshop Scheduling is the most common problem of interest. The Job-shop Scheduling Problem (JSP) involves placing jobs onto a set of machines with the aim of minimising makespan, the total time to complete all jobs. The standard JSP model is relatively simple and cannot cope with many real world situations. This paper outlines a new method, using an operation based construction, which expands the JSP to increase its functionality and applicability. This allows for much more complex job shop problems involving flexible machines, setup and maintenance times, deadlines and multiple optimisation criteria. The method is fully explained and demonstrated using a 20 job-4 machine example.

A New Approach in Job Shop Scheduling: Overlapping Operation

In this paper, a new approach to overlapping operations in job shop scheduling is presented. In many job shops, a customer demand can be met in more than one way for each job, where demand determines the quantity of each finished job ordered by a customer. In each job, embedded operations can be performed due to overlapping considerations in which each operation may be overlapped with the other...

Solving the Dynamic Job Shop Scheduling Problem using Bottleneck and Intelligent Agents based on Genetic Algorithm

The problem of Dynamic Job Shop (DJS) scheduling is one of the most complex problems of machine scheduling. This problem is one of NP-Hard problems for solving which numerous heuristic and metaheuristic methods have so far been presented. Genetic Algorithms (GA) are one of these methods which are successfully applied to these problems. In these approaches, of course, better quality of solutions...

Minimizing the maximum tardiness and makespan criteria in a job shop scheduling problem with sequence dependent setup times

The job shop scheduling problem (JSP) is one of the most difficult problems in traditional scheduling because any job consists of a set operations and also any operation processes by a machine. Whereas the operation is placed in the machine, it is essential to be considering setup times that the times strongly depend on the various sequencing of jobs on the machines. This research is developed ...
