Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Batch scheduling and processing play a critical role in many manufacturing and service industries. They are widely used in service industries such as banking to process data which makes them of great importance since data communication, monitoring and execution are essential whether they are done online or offline. Batch processing is defined as the execution of a set of required tasks within a specific time frame without violating predecessors’ requirements and constraints set by the client. The goal is to achieve the agreed service level contracted with clients using the minimum amount of resources. This research investigates the scheduling problem of processing a set of tasks of non-identical sizes and priority using a set of processors. The objective is to minimize the data batch processing cost while taking into consideration the available resources and the tasks predecessors and constraints. Different types of costs will be included which are: servers and software basic leasing cost, rental cost for additional resources needed in case of overload and extra work, penalty cost of failing to execute the batch process as per the Service Level Agreement (SLA), and the opportunity cost representing the cost of idling a resource for any period of time due to inefficient task allocation. An iterative algorithm with an optimization model at each iteration was developed to optimize the data batching process while minimizing the aforementioned costs. A sensitivity analysis is conducted by varying the main model parameters, one at a time to study their impact on the total cost and the problem under study. Also, different network sizes and complexities were tested to study the effectiveness of the developed algorithm. It was found that it is more effective to include all types of costs in one optimization model along with priority, weight, predecessor and time factors. The algorithm proved its effectiveness by allocating files with higher priority and weight prior to other files while taking into consideration time and different types of costs which led to lower batch process total cost. It is recommended that penalty cost and extra processors different costs should be negotiated thoroughly between stakeholders prior to signing the SLA since it was found that those costs affect the time and number of rented extra processors which consequently affects the whole batch process."--Abstract.

This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The factory scheduling problem, that of allocating machines to competing jobs in manufacturing facilities to optimize or at least improve system performance, is encountered in many different manufacturing environments. Given the competitive pressures faced by many companies in today's rapidly changing global markets, improved factory scheduling should contribute to a flrm's success. However, even though an extensive body of research on scheduling models has been in existence for at least the last three decades, most of the techniques currently in use in industry are relatively simplistic, and have not made use of this body of knowledge. In this book we describe a systematic, long-term research effort aimed at developing effective scheduling algorithms for complex manufacturing facilities. We focus on a speciflc industrial context, that of semiconductor manufacturing, and try to combine knowledge of the physical production system with the methods and results of scheduling research to develop effective approximate solution procedures for these problems. The class of methods we suggest, decomposition methods, constitute a broad family of heuristic approaches to large, NP-hard scheduling problems which can be applied in other environments in addition to those studied in this book.
Download or read book Efficient Algorithms for Unrelated Parallel Machine Scheduling Considering Time of Use Pricing and Demand Changes written by Brady Collea and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 38 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "There is an ever-increasing focus on sustainability and energy consumption worldwide. Manufacturing is one of the major areas where energy reduction is not only environmentally beneficial, but also incredibly financially beneficial. These industrial consumers pay for their electricity according to prices that fluctuate throughout the day. These price fluctuations are in place to shift consumption away from “peak” times, when electricity is in the highest demand. In addition to this consumption cost, industrial consumers are charged according to their highest level of demand in a given window of time in the form of demand charges. This paper presents multiple solution methods to solve a parallel machine shop scheduling problem to minimize the total energy cost of the production schedule under Time of Use (TOU) and demand charge pricing. The greedy heuristic and genetic algorithm developed are designed to provide efficient solutions to this problem. The results of these methods are compared to a previously developed integer program (IP) solved using CPLEX with respect to the quality of the solution and the computational time required to solve it. Findings of these tests show that the greedy heuristic handles the test problems with only a small optimality gap to the genetic algorithm and optimal IP solution. The largest test problems could not be solved by the genetic algorithm in the provided time period due to difficulty generating an initial solution population. However, when successful the genetic algorithm performed comparably to the CPLEX solver in terms solution quality yet provided faster solve times."--Abstract.
