tendency to optimization in last decades has resulted in creating multi-product manufacturing systems. production planning in such systems is difficult, because optimal production volume that is calculated must be consistent with limitation of production system. hence, integration has been proposed to decide about these problems concurrently. main problem in integration is how we can relate pro...

The Flexible Job Shop Scheduling Problem (FJSP) is one of the most general and difficult of all traditional scheduling problems. The Flexible Job Shop Problem (FJSP) is an extension of the classical job shop scheduling problem which allows an operation to be processed by any machine from a given set. The problem is to assign each operation to a machine and to order the operations on the machine...

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 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...

Scheduling is an important process widely used in manufacturing, production, management, computer science, and so on. Appropriate scheduling not only reduces manufacturing costs but also reduces possibilities for violating due dates. Finding good schedules for given sets of jobs can thus help factory supervisors effectively control job flows and provide solutions for job sequencing. In simple f...

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 ...

A scheduling system is proposed and developed for a special type of flow shop. In this flow shop there is one machine at each stage. A job may require multiple operations at each stage. The first operation of a job on stage j cannot start until the last operation of the job on stage j-1 has finished. Preemption of the operations of a job is not allowed. The flow shop that we consider has anothe...

this paper presents a mathematical model for a flow shop scheduling problem consisting of m machine and n jobs with fuzzy processing times that can be estimated as independent stochastic or fuzzy numbers. in the traditional flow shop scheduling problem, the typical objective is to minimize the makespan). however,, two significant criteria for each schedule in stochastic models are: expectable m...
