Real-life Scheduling Using Constraint Programming and Simulation
نویسندگان
چکیده
The paper presents an integrated production planner and job shop scheduler system with flexible modeling capabilities and powerful, scalable solution methods. The system generates close-to-optimal production and capacity plans on the medium term, and detailed production schedules on the short-term. However, the constraint-based, deterministic scheduling model can hardly account for all the uncertainties on the shop floor. Hence, we included such factors into a discrete-event simulation model that is applied to evaluate the robustness of schedules in face of various uncertainties. Copyright © 2003 IFAC

A Case Study on Earliness/Tardiness Scheduling by Constraint Programming
The aim of this paper is to solve a problem on scheduling with earliness and tardiness costs using constraint programming approach, and to compare the results with the ones from the original timed automata approach. The case study, a production of lacquers, includes some real life features like operating hours or changeover times. Considering the earliness and tardiness costs of the case study,...
متن کاملComparing Mixed-Integer and Constraint Programming for the No-Wait Flow Shop Problem with Due Date Constraints
The impetus for this research was examining a flow shop problem in which tasks were expected to be successively carried out with no time interval (i.e., no wait time) between them. For this reason, they should be completed by specific dates or deadlines. In this regard, the efficiency of the models was evaluated based on makespan. To solve the NP-Hard problem, we developed two mathematical mode...
متن کاملA chance-constrained multi-objective model for final assembly scheduling in ATO systems with uncertain sub-assembly availability
A chance-constraint multi-objective model under uncertainty in the availability of subassemblies is proposed for scheduling in ATO systems. The on-time delivery of customer orders as well as reducing the company's cost is crucial; therefore, a three-objective model is proposed including the minimization of1) overtime, idletime, change-over, and setup costs, 2) total dispersion of items’ deliver...
متن کاملYard crane scheduling in port container terminals using genetic algorithm
Yard crane is an important resource in container terminals. Efficient utilization of the yard crane significantly improves the productivity and the profitability of the container terminal. This paper presents a mixed integer programming model for the yard crane scheduling problem with non- interference constraint that is NPHARD in nature. In other words, one of the most important constraints in...
متن کاملConstraint-based Scheduling: an Introduction for Newcomers
Constraint-based scheduling is an approach for solving real-life scheduling problems by stating constraints over the problem variables. By providing generic constraint satisfaction techniques on one side and specialised constraints on the other side, constraint programming achieves a very good generality and efficiency and thus it becomes very popular in solving real-life combinatorial (optimis...
