Process scheduling is a classical problem in the field of production planning and control; in particular, effective job shop scheduling remains an essential component in today’s highly dynamic and agile production environment. This paper presents unified framework for solving generic job shop scheduling problems based on the formulation of a job shop into three main classes of problem, namely, ...

In the last decade job shop scheduling problems have been subject to intensive research due to their multiple applications. Job shop scheduling is known as a strongly NPcomplete problem. In the job shop scheduling problems, processing times and due dates are very dynamically due to both human and machine resource factors. Fuzzy sets are used to model the uncertain processing times and due dates...

This paper studies the problem of scheduling Job shops in robotic cells with no intermediate buffers, called No Wait Blocking Transport Job Shop Scheduling Problem (NWBT JSSP). This problem is an extension of the classical job shop problem. No Wait Blocking Transport job shop problems arise in many realistic production environments. To tackle this problem, we developed a Mixed Integer Linear Pr...

Flexible job shop scheduling problem, is an extension of the classical job shop scheduling problem. In Flexible job shop scheduling problem, there are more than one machine with the same features for the same purpose. The problem can be defined as appointing the jobs to the machines (assignment) and ordering the jobs at each machine (sequencing) to serve the desired purpose. Multi-objective fle...

introduction:today, shift work is considered as a necessity in many jobs and for some 24-hour services the use of shift-work is growing. however, shift work can lead to physiological and psycho-social problems for shift workers. this study aimed to determine the effects of shift work on the associated health problems, together with the demographic and job characteristics underlying the problems...

The n×m minimum-makespan general job-shop scheduling problem, hereafter referred to as the JSSP, can be described by a set of n jobs {Ji}1≤j≤n which is to be processed on a set of m machines {Mr}1≤r≤m. Each job has a technological sequence of machines to be processed. The processing of job Jj on machine Mr is called the operation Ojr. Operation Ojr requires the exclusive use of Mr for an uninte...

In this paper, an exact geometric algorithm is presented for solving two-job sequencing and scheduling problems in flexible flow shop and job shop environments while the resources are (un)available in some time periods and processors (un)availability is the same in all work centers. This study seems utterly new and it is applicable to any performance measure based on the completion time. The in...

The problem of finding robust solutions for scheduling problems is of utmost importance for realworld applications as they operate in dynamic environments. In such environments it is often necessary to reschedule the existing plan due to various failures (e.g., machine breakdowns, sickness of employees, etc). Thus a robust solution (i.e., a quality solution which can be modified easily accordin...
