in this paper, a new approach to overlapping operations in job shop scheduling is presented. in many job shops, a customer demand can be met in more than one way for each job, where demand determines the quantity of each finished job ordered by a customer. in each job, embedded operations can be performed due to overlapping considerations in which each operation may be overlapped with the other...

In this paper, we analyze the characteristics of the dynamic job shop scheduling problem when machine breakdown and new job arrivals occur. A hybrid approach involving neural networks(NNs) and geneticalgorithm(GA) is presented to solve the dynamic job shop scheduling problem as a static scheduling problem. The objective of this kind of job shop scheduling problem is minimizing the completion ti...

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...

Flexible job-shop scheduling problem derived from the job-shop scheduling problem, and is more realistic than the job-shop scheduling problem in the manufacturing enterprise. It should be utilized with high efficiency. But it is a multi-objective optimal problem. Three minimization objectives (Maximum completion time (makespan), Total workload of machines and Workload of the critical machine) a...

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...

The flexibility present in a job shop is an important determinant of the future success of the shop, since it increases the ability to deal with the changes a job shop is faced with in a dynamic environment. The presence of idle-time in a job shop schedule contributes considerably to this flexibility. By introducing an anticipation factor that preserves idletime in the scheduling process more f...

The various industries such as automobile industry, aerospace industry, printing industry, and chemical industry operate on job shop system. Job shop scheduling problems are complex and real world. The present work assesses the effect of change in shop utilizations levels on total setups and mean setup time measures. The simulation model of the job shop is developed for investigation purpose. T...

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...

摘要 現場管制系統是ERP的主要子系統之一, 其主要功能是安排現場訂單的排程. 根據研 究,大部分現場的排程問題是屬於 Job Shop問 題. 所以過去幾十年來 Job Shop問題一直是 產業界與學術界重要的研究課題之一. 其間 雖有無數的論文發表, 但因缺少考慮現場實際 的狀況, 很少研究的成果可以用來解決現場的 排程問題. 本研究開發以 Tabu Search為主的 排程方法. 經以個人在美國工作現場所使用之 MRP II 系統所產生的資料驗證, 本方法確能 有效求解現場的排程問題. 關鍵字: Job Shop, Tabu Search Abstract Shop floor control system is a sub-system of the ERP system. Its major function is to generate daily schedules f...
