This paper presents a new mathematical model for a bi-objective job shop scheduling problem with sequencedependent setup times that minimizes the weighted mean completion time and the weighted mean tardiness time. For solving this multi-objective model, we develop a fuzzy multi-objective linear programming (FMOLP) model. In this problem, a proposed FMOLP method is applied with respect to the ov...

In the paper we discuss the influence of the route flexibility degree, the open rate of operations and the production type coefficient on makespan. The flexible job-open shop scheduling problem FJOSP (an extension of the classical job shop scheduling) is analyzed. For the analysis of the production process we used a hybrid heuristic of the GRASP (greedy randomized adaptive search procedure) wit...

In the job shop scheduling problem (JSP), a finite set of jobs is processed on a finite set of machines. Each job is characterized by a fixed order of operations, each of which is to be processed on a specific machine for a specified duration. Each machine can process at most one job at a time and once a job initiates processing on a given machine it must complete processing uninterrupted. A sc...

in this paper, the flexible job shop scheduling problem with machine flexibility and controllable process times is studied. the main idea is that the processing times of operations may be controlled by consumptions of additional resources. the purpose of this paper to find the best trade-off between processing cost and delay cost in order to minimize the total costs. the proposed model, flexibl...

Job shop scheduling is one of the most explored areas in the last few decades. Although it is very commonly witnessed in real-life situations, very less investigation has been carried out in scheduling operations of multi-level jobs, which undergo serial, parallel, and assembly operations in an assembly job shop. In this work, some of the dispatch rules, which have best performances in scheduli...

Two scheduling methods based on Extreme Value Theory (SEVAT) and Genetic Algorithms (GA) are developed. The SEVAT approach is a schedule building approach that creates a statistical profile of schedules through random sampling and predicts the potential' of a schedule alternative. The GA approach, on the other hand, is a schedule permutation approach, in which a population of schedules are init...

Scheduling for the flexible job shop is very important in both fields of production management and combinatorial optimization. However, it quit difficult to achieve an optimal solution to this problem with traditional optimization approaches owing to the high computational complexity. The combining of several optimization criteria induces additional complexity and new problems. In this paper, a...
