Cross-enterprise project is the main implementation form in multi enterprises collaborative production environment. Minimizing the risk of failure and tardiness caused by the uncertainty of partner’s resources in partner selection is the key problem to ensure success in Cross-enterprise project. In this paper, considering the factors and constraints of sub-project processing times, precedence o...

  In this paper flexible job-shop scheduling problem (FJSP) is studied in the case of optimizing different contradictory objectives consisting of: (1) minimizing makespan, (2) minimizing total workload, and (3) minimizing workload of the most loaded machine. As the problem belongs to the class of NP-Hard problems, a new hybrid genetic algorithm is proposed to obtain a large set of Pareto-optima...

extensive research has been devoted to resource constrained project scheduling problem. however, little attention has been paid to problems where a certain time penalty must be incurred if activity preemption is allowed. in this paper, we consider the project scheduling problem of minimizing the total cost subject to resource constraints, earliness-tardiness penalties and preemption penalties, ...

In a typical discrete manufacturing process, new type of reconfigurable production line is introduced, which aims to help small- and mid-size enterprises improve machine utilization reduce cost. order effectively handle the scheduling problem for system, an improved multi-objective particle swarm optimization algorithm based on Brownian motion (MOPSO-BM) proposed. Since existing MOPSO algorithm...

A three stage production system is considered in this paper. There are two stages to fabricate and ready the parts and an assembly stage to assembly the parts and complete the products in this system. Suppose that a number of products of different kinds are ordered. Each product is assembled with a set of several parts. At first the parts are produced in the first stage with parallel machines a...
