Download or read book Scheduling written by Michael L. Pinedo and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-01-07 with total page 673 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This new edition of the well established text Scheduling - Theory, Algorithms, and Systems provides an up-to-date coverage of important theoretical models in the scheduling literature as well as significant scheduling problems that occur in the real world. It again includes supplementary material in the form of slide-shows from industry and movies that show implementations of scheduling systems. The main structure of the book as per previous edition consists of three parts. The first part focuses on deterministic scheduling and the related combinatorial problems. The second part covers probabilistic scheduling models; in this part it is assumed that processing times and other problem data are random and not known in advance. The third part deals with scheduling in practice; it covers heuristics that are popular with practitioners and discusses system design and implementation issues. All three parts of this new edition have been revamped and streamlined. The references have been made completely up-to-date. Theoreticians and practitioners alike will find this book of interest. Graduate students in operations management, operations research, industrial engineering, and computer science will find the book an accessible and invaluable resource. Scheduling - Theory, Algorithms, and Systems will serve as an essential reference for professionals working on scheduling problems in manufacturing, services, and other environments. Reviews of third edition: This well-established text covers both the theory and practice of scheduling. The book begins with motivating examples and the penultimate chapter discusses some commercial scheduling systems and examples of their implementations." (Mathematical Reviews, 2009)

Book Flow Shop Scheduling

Download or read book Flow Shop Scheduling written by Hamilton Emmons and published by Springer. This book was released on 2012-09-14 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although several monographs and edited volumes have discussed scheduling in general, most of these works survey the field by contributing a single chapter to production systems like flow shops. Flow Shop Scheduling: Theoretical Results, Algorithms, and Applications is solely dedicated to bringing together a huge body of knowledge on the subject, along distinct design features, in order to help scholars and practitioners easily identify problems of interest. This monograph has been organized into ten distinct flow shop systems and explores their connections. The chapters cover flow shop systems including two-machine, flexible, stochastic, and more. Outside of the traditional flow shops that require a job never revisits any stage, this book also examines the reentrant flow shop, in which a job may cycle back and be reprocessed at the same station or sequence of stations, multiple times. The authors have made the material accessible to a broad readership, using simplified notation and revealing unifying concepts. The results unique to flow shop research should provide the seed for research in other areas of scheduling and in optimization in general.

Book Some Deterministic Flowshop Scheduling Models

Download or read book Some Deterministic Flowshop Scheduling Models written by Neelam Tyagi and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2012 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sequencing / 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. The present dissertation deals with the concept and applications of flow shop sequencing and scheduling model .The flow shop scheduling has been a very active and prolific research area since the seminal paper of Johnson (1954). The flow shop scheduling problem is a production problem where a set of n jobs have to be processed with identical flow pattern on m machines. In this memoir we have made an attempt to discussed some methods/approach used in flow shop scheduling/sequencing such as heuristic and meta heuristic approach, Longest - Processing Time (LPT) and the PALMER approaches for group flexible flow shop scheduling problems, flow shop sequencing with transportation time of jobs and parallel and unrelated parallel machine scheduling problems.In scheduling problems we must determine the order or sequence for processing a set of jobs through several machines in an optimal manner.

Download or read book Time Dependent Scheduling written by Stanislaw Gawiejnowicz and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2008-09-26 with total page 379 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Time-dependent scheduling involves problems in which the processing times of jobs depend on when those jobs are started. This book is a comprehensive study of complexity results and optimal and suboptimal algorithms concerning time-dependent scheduling in single-, parallel- and dedicated-machine environments. In addition to complexity issues and exact or heuristic algorithms which are typically presented in scheduling books, the author also includes more advanced topics such as matrix methods in time-dependent scheduling, and time-dependent scheduling with two criteria. The reader should be familiar with basic notions of calculus, discrete mathematics and combinatorial optimization theory, while the book offers introductory material on NP-complete problems, and the basics of scheduling theory. The author includes numerous examples, figures and tables, he presents different classes of algorithms using pseudocode, and he completes the book with an extensive bibliography, and author, symbol and subject indexes. The book is suitable for researchers working on scheduling, problem complexity, optimization, heuristics and local search algorithms.

Book A Note on the Value of Interchange Methods in Scheduling Problems

Download or read book A Note on the Value of Interchange Methods in Scheduling Problems written by Thomas J. Hodgson and published by . This book was released on 1978 with total page 17 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Consider a multi-machine scheduling problem in which the jobs (of unit duration) may have non-zero release times, monotonic increasing deferral costs, and general precedence relationships between them. In general, efficient optimal solution techniques do not exist for problems of this type, and, typically realistically sized problems must be solved using heuristics. An efficient mehtod for implementing job interchange techniques is presented for improving heuristically derived schedules. The method is tested on over 200 randomly generated (NP-complete) problems. 98.5% of the problems are solved optimally. Finally, it is noted that the quality of the solution technique does not appear to be limited by computation costs, but rather by the (one time) developmental cost of the interchange computer code.
