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).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jens Kuhpfahl analyzes the job shop scheduling problem with minimizing the total weighted tardiness as objective. First, he provides a suitable graph representation based on a disjunctive graph formulation. Second, several key components of local search procedures are analyzed and enhanced. The resulting outputs of these investigations contribute to the development of a new solution procedure whose performance quality leads to superior computational results.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Online scheduling is recognized as the crucial decision-making process of production control at a phase of “being in production" according to the released shop floor schedule. Online scheduling can be also considered as one of key enablers to realize prompt capable-to-promise as well as available-to-promise to customers along with reducing production lead times under recent globalized competitive markets. Online Scheduling in Manufacturing introduces new approaches to online scheduling based on a concept of cumulative delay. The cumulative delay is regarded as consolidated information of uncertainties under a dynamic environment in manufacturing and can be collected constantly without much effort at any points in time during a schedule execution. In this approach, the cumulative delay of the schedule has the important role of a criterion for making a decision whether or not a schedule revision is carried out. The cumulative delay approach to trigger schedule revisions has the following capabilities for the practical decision-making: 1. To reduce frequent schedule revisions which do not necessarily improve a current situation with much expense for its operation; 2. To avoid overreacting to disturbances dependent on strongly an individual shop floor circumstance; and 3. To simplify the monitoring process of a schedule status. Online Scheduling in Manufacturing will be of interest to both practitioners and researchers who work in planning and scheduling in manufacturing. Readers will find the importance of when-to-revise policies during a schedule execution and their influences on scheduling results.

This book was released on 1972 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Interactive scheduling procedures for job shop problems are appealing because current scheduling techniques cannot deal with the problem in its full complexity. The report presents an interactive model which builds on a multi-pass heuristic scheduling procedure for the due-date problem. The program allows a human scheduler to interact to improve schedules and modify problem descriptions in an attempt to arrive at a satisfactory solution. A discussion of the model's capabilities and detailed operating procedures are contained in the report. (Author).

Download or read book A Modified Shifting Bottleneck Approach to Job Shop Scheduling with Sequence Dependent Setups MSBSS written by Xiaoqing Sun and published by . This book was released on 1997 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This research addresses the NP-Hard, practical problem of scheduling jobs with release dates, due dates and sequence dependent setups where the scheduling objective is to minimize the weighted sum of squared tardiness. Such a problem is practically relevant due to the fact that there are numerous industrial settings that involve sequence dependent setups. A shifting bottleneck based method (MSBSS) is developed for job shop scheduling with sequence dependent setups, which balances both efficiency and optimality. As a key component of MSBSS, a Lagrangian relaxation based approach (LRSSS) is also developed for single-machine scheduling with sequence dependent setups. Sequence dependent setups are formulated into capacity constraints, then the capacity constraints are relaxed using a Lagrangian multiplier. The primal problem is decomposed into job-level subproblems which are solved optimally and an approximation dual problem is then solved using a sub-gradient technique. The result of the relaxation is a list of jobs sequenced by beginning times that is then improved via a three-way enumeration. Experimental results are compared with EDD (earliest due date), ATCS (apparent tardiness cost with sequence dependent setups), dispatching rules, a 4-way enumeration local search, tabu search, and simulated annealing. The LRSSS approach results in superior solution quality with respect to EDD, ATCS, 4-way enumeration and tabu search results. It has comparable solution quality to the simulated annealing results, but is substantially more efficient. The LRSSS is then extended to job shop scheduling with sequence dependent setups, due dates and release dates. The resulting MSBSS procedure decomposes the job shop scheduling problem into a series of single-machine scheduling problems. Machines are scheduled in order of criticality defined as the marginal contribution of a machine to the objective function. The MSBSS approach is compared with EDD, ATCS, and SIMSET (similar setup times) dispatching rules. The MSBSS approach results in superior solution quality to the results of other dispatching rules. Overall the research has resulted in two efficient scheduling procedures (LRSSS and MSBSS) that fill an important gap in algorithm design dealing with practical, realistically sized scheduling problems.
