this study considers scheduling in hybrid flow shop environment with unrelated parallel machines for minimizing mean of job's tardiness and mean of job's completion times. this problem does not study in the literature, so far. flexible flow shop environment is applicable in various industries such as wire and spring manufacturing, electronic industries and production lines. after mode...

This paper presents an investigation of scheduling procedures to seek the minimum of a positively weighted convex sum of makespan and the number of tardy jobs in a static flexible flow shop scheduling environment. The flexible flow shop problem is a scheduling of jobs in a flow shop environment consisting of series of production stages, some of which may have only one machine, but at least one ...

In simple flow shop problems, each machine operation center includes just one machine. If at least one machine center includes more than one machine, the scheduling problem becomes a flexible flow-shop problem. Recently, group scheduling has also been proposed and discussed. In the group scheduling, each job belongs to a specific group and all the jobs are processed group by group. In this pape...

This paper deals with performance evaluation and scheduling problems in m machine stochastic flow shop with unlimited buffers. The processing time of each job on each machine is a random variable exponentially distributed with a known rate. We consider permutation flow shop. The objective is to find a job schedule which minimizes the expected makespan. A classification of works about stochastic...

In this paper, mathematical models for permutation flow shop scheduling and job shop scheduling problems are proposed. The first problem is based on a mixed integer programming model. As the problem is NP-complete, this model can only be used for smaller instances where an optimal solution can be computed. For large instances, another model is proposed which is suitable for solving the problem ...

In the stochastic online scheduling environment, jobs with unknown release times and weights arrive over time. Upon arrival, the information on the weight of the job is revealed but the processing requirement remains unknown until the job is finished. With the objective of minimizing the total weighted completion time, various asymptotically optimal algorithms have been proposed for the online ...

Stochastic dynamic job shop scheduling problem with consideration of sequence-dependent setup times are among the most difficult classes of scheduling problems. This paper assesses the performance of nine dispatching rules in such shop from makespan, mean flow time, maximum flow time, mean tardiness, maximum tardiness, number of tardy jobs, total setups and mean setup time performance measures ...

this research, for the first time presents the flexible flow shop model of scheduling method for considering runway assignment and operations planning together. one of the advantages of the developed model is considering the procedures of air routes in terminal airspace and separation between consecutive aircraft which is very similar to the real world condition. there are different objective f...

Traditional flexible flow shop scheduling cannot adapt to the work processes with existence of parallel machines, and blocks or limits the processes with no-wait constraints. Firstly, according to the problem in NWBFFSSP, which minimizes the maximum time used in the flow shop, an optimal solving model has been designed to realize the flexible flow shop scheduling with multi constraints; besides...
