There is a need for highly flexible, low complexity systems with that can handle the large scale real time scheduling problems. In this work, two approaches, artificial intelligence (AI) based genetic algorithms (GA) and control theoretic based arrival time control (ATC) have been combined to achieve the objective of just in time (JIT) scheduling in a job-shop. GA and ATC compliment each other ...

<p style='text-indent:20px;'>In this research, a parallel machine sequence-dependent group scheduling problem with the goal of minimizing total weighted earliness and tardiness is investigated. First, mathematical model developed for research which can be used solving small-sized instances. Since shown to NP-hard, focuses on proposing meta-heuristic algorithms finding near-optimal solutio...

With increasing cost competition and product variety, providing an efficient Just-inTime (JIT) supply has become one of the greatest challenges in the use of mixedmodel assembly line production systems. In the present paper, therefore, we propose a new approach for scheduling JIT part supply from a central storage center. Usually, materials are stored in boxes that are allotted to the consumpti...

Service providers of the future could dynamically negotiate for, and create their infrastructure on Grid based utility computing and communication providers. Such commercialisation of large scale gridsystems requires the provision of mechanisms to share the wide pool of Grid brokered resources such as computers, software, licences and peripherals amongst many users and organisations. Quickly an...

In this paper, we introduce a workflow-oriented system architecture for the processing of client requests (CRs) for container transportation. In the context of multi-transfer container transportation, the processing of CRs can be achieved by specific sequences of interdependent activities. These sequences need to be just-in-time created. They also need to be adapted to deal with unexpected even...
