Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The performance of an company depends both on its technological expertise and its managerial and organizational effectiveness. Production management is an important part of the process for manufacturing firms. The organization of production relies in general on the implementation of a certain number of basic functions, among which the scheduling function plays an essential role. This title presents recently developed methods for resolving scheduling issues. The basic concepts and the methods of production scheduling are introduced and advanced techniques are discussed, providing readers with a comprehensive and accessible guide to employing this process.

Download or read book Resource Constrained Project Scheduling written by Christian Artigues and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2013-03-01 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This title presents a large variety of models and algorithms dedicated to the resource-constrained project scheduling problem (RCPSP), which aims at scheduling at minimal duration a set of activities subject to precedence constraints and limited resource availabilities. In the first part, the standard variant of RCPSP is presented and analyzed as a combinatorial optimization problem. Constraint programming and integer linear programming formulations are given. Relaxations based on these formulations and also on related scheduling problems are presented. Exact methods and heuristics are surveyed. Computational experiments, aiming at providing an empirical insight on the difficulty of the problem, are provided. The second part of the book focuses on several other variants of the RCPSP and on their solution methods. Each variant takes account of real-life characteristics which are not considered in the standard version, such as possible interruptions of activities, production and consumption of resources, cost-based approaches and uncertainty considerations. The last part presents industrial case studies where the RCPSP plays a central part. Applications are presented in various domains such as assembly shop and rolling ingots production scheduling, project management in information technology companies and instruction scheduling for VLIW processor architectures.
Download or read book A New Approach to Job Shop Scheduling with Due Dates written by Charles A. Holloway and published by . This book was released on 1971 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The classical formulation of the static job shop scheduling problem with job due dates implies that the question of interest to the manager is: What is the best that can be done to meet due dates with fixed resources. In this paper, two alternative formulations of the problem are proposed; one because of its practical appeal, the other because of its methodological appeal. The latter is used to develop a multi-pass heuristic scheduling procedure aimed at providing a practical tool for attacking any of the three formulations of the problem. The procedure was programmed and applied to a set of nineteen test problems for which solutions satisfying all job due dates are known to exist. The problems range in size up to 10 jobs, 9 machines and 14 jobs, 7 machines. Solutions were attained for each of the test problems. The average and maximum IBM 360-91 computing times were 1.23 and 3.28 seconds, respectively. (Author).

Abstract: Abstract of thesis entitled "An Evolutionary Algorithm Approach for Assembly Job Shop Scheduling with Lot Streaming Technique" Submitted by Wong Tse Chiu for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at The University of Hong Kong in December 2007 Considerable efforts have been made by many manufacturing practitioners and researchers in recent years to solve Production and Scheduling Problems (PSPs). To solve PSPs, decision makers need to optimize the system objectives and satisfy the system constraints within a practical time limit. In this connection, a number of evolutionary approaches have been developed in this field. The Job Shop Scheduling Problem (JSSP) is one of the better-known PSPs, in which jobs are processed on machines in distinct orders. To solve a JSSP, the job processing sequence on each machine should be determined with respect to the objective functions. In fact, the classical JSSP is simplified by a number of system assumptions. One assumption is ii that a job cannot be split. Generally, a job is defined as a batch of identical items and it can only be transferred to the next machine once the whole batch has been processed. If a job is not allowed to be split, its next operation cannot be started even some items of the batch have already been processed. To relax this assumption, decision makers eventually need to decide for each job: (1) Whether the job will be split; (2) the sub-job number; and (3) the size of each sub-job. This technique is called Lot Streaming (LS). LS is defined as the process of splitting jobs into smaller sub-jobs so that successive operations of the same job can be overlapped on different machines. Nevertheless, insufficient LS models have been dedicated to JSSP. Another assumption of the classical JSSP is that there is no assembly stage. In other words, each job in JSSP is independent. If an assembly stage is appended to JSSP, the problem then becomes the Assembly Job Shop Scheduling Problem (AJSSP). In this study, the application of LS is for the first time extended to the AJSSP. As the potential of employing LS to the AJSSP has not been fully studied, an intelligent evolutionary algorithm is proposed and examined. The application of LS to JSSP is investigated first. Accordingly, an evolutionary algorithm is proposed. The research problem is divided into Sub-Problem One (SP1) and Sub-Problem Two (SP2). SP1 is defined as the determination of three LS conditions and SP2 is defined as JSSP after LS conditions have been determined. Different system parameters such as 3-level processing time range, 5-level setup time range, and 4-level system congestion index are examined. The computational results are obtained and discussed. Next, the application of LS is extended to the AJSSP. In iii this connection, the problem is considered in three parts: (a) Part I, on a simplified AJSSP; (b) Part II, on an AJSSP with 4-level part sharing; and (c) Part III, on an AJSSP with 4-level part sharing, 4-level system congestion index, and 2-level resource constraints. Correspondingly, the evolutionary algorithm is modified and improved in terms of optimization powers and computational effort. The computational results are obtained and discussed. ____________________________________________________________________ iv DOI: 10.5353/th_b3963446 Subjects: Genetic algorithms

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The main goal of this book is to provide a state of the art of hybrid metaheuristics. The book provides a complete background that enables readers to design and implement hybrid metaheuristics to solve complex optimization problems (continuous/discrete, mono-objective/multi-objective, optimization under uncertainty) in a diverse range of application domains. Readers learn to solve large scale problems quickly and efficiently combining metaheuristics with complementary metaheuristics, mathematical programming, constraint programming and machine learning. Numerous real-world examples of problems and solutions demonstrate how hybrid metaheuristics are applied in such fields as networks, logistics and transportation, bio-medical, engineering design, scheduling.

This book was released on 1984 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A new zero one integer programming model for the job shop scheduling problem with minimum makespan criterion is presented. The algorithm consists of two parts: (a) a branch and bound parametric linear programming code for solving the job shop problem with fixed completion time; (b) a problem expanding algorithm for finding the optimal completion time. Computational experience for problems having up to 36 operations is presented. The largest problem solved was limited by memory space, not computation time. Efforts are under way to improve the efficiency of the algorithm and to reduce its memory requirements.
