Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: "A parallel machine scheduling problem is considered in which each job has a processing time and a delivery time. The objective is to find a schedule which minimizes the time by which all jobs are delivered. For the single machine this problem is easily solved in polynomial time, for m [> or =] machines it becomes NP-hard. Several heuristics using list scheduling as a subroutine are proposed and analysed. The best one of our heuristics has a worst-case performance guarantee of 2 - 2 / (m + 1). For the on-line case we give a heuristic with the (best possible) worst-case performance of two."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edited book presents new results in the area of the development of exact and heuristic scheduling algorithms. It contains eight articles accepted for publication for a Special Issue in the journal Algorithms. The book presents new algorithms, e.g., for flow shop, job shop, and parallel machine scheduling problems. The particular articles address subjects such as a heuristic for the routing and scheduling problem with time windows, applied to the automotive industry in Mexico, a heuristic for the blocking job shop problem with tardiness minimization based on new neighborhood structures, fast heuristics for the Euclidean traveling salesman problem or a new mathematical model for the period-aggregated resource leveling problem with variable job duration, and several others.

This book was released on 2024-01-18 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Production scheduling helps businesses become more productive and efficiently satisfy consumer needs. Because it falls within the combinatorial category, scheduling work on uniform parallel computers to minimize the makespan measure is a difficult problem under single machine scheduling. The goal of this essay is to show how to design an effective algorithm for this particular situation. The introduction chapter of this text covers single machine scheduling with a single machine, single machine scheduling with parallel machines, and research gap of unform parallel machine scheduling. The goals of the challenge, the assumptions behind the scheduling of uniform parallel machines, and the plan for developing the algorithms are all presented in Chapter 2, which describes the problem. A model and an example of the model utilizing a small size problem are provided in Chapter 3 on the mathematical model for uniform parallel machines scheduling to minimize makespan. The simulated annealing algorithm to minimize makespan in the single machine scheduling problem with uniform parallel machines is presented in Chapter 4. It includes an overview of the algorithm, its skeleton, three newly developed simulated annealing algorithms, and a comparison of them to determine which is the best. The development of a GA-based strategy to reduce the uniform parallel machine scheduling makespan is presented in Chapter 5. This covers the basic structure of the genetic algorithm, factors that impact the GA algorithm, techniques for assigning tasks to machines, and crossover strategies. Additionally, it entails the creation of four GA-based heuristics to reduce makespan and a comparison of them to determine which GA-based heuristic is optimum for scheduling jobs on uniform parallel computers. In order to determine which is optimal, the best GA-based heuristic and the best simulated annealing technique are compared in Chapter 6 to minimize the makespan of scheduling jobs on uniform parallel computers. Appendix 1 for replication 1 and Appendix 2 for replication 2 contain the data needed to test the heuristics in Chapter 4, Chater 5, and Chapter 6. The author expresses gratitude to all of his university colleagues and academicians for their support in releasing this work. The writing style of this text is simple to read. P.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Attempts to cope with the challenge of optimal utilization of limited resources in accomplishing variegated tasks have resulted in an exciting field known as scheduling theory. The resources and tasks are commonly referred to as machines and jobs, respectively. In this thesis efficient heuristic algorithms are developed, which quickly provide near optimal solutions for various problems in scheduling theory that are practically intractable to solve to optimality. The worst-case performance of the heuristic algorithms is thoroughly analyzed. With respect to machine environments, the scheduling problems considered range from parallel machine shops, through open and flow shops, to common generalizations of the classical shop models. With respect to the job characteristics, these problems may involve preemptive or non-preemptive scheduling, with setup times included in or separated from processing times. With respect to the ways jobs are released and scheduled, both off-line and on-line problems are investigated."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We investigate the integrated production and distribution scheduling problem in a supply chain. The manufacturer's production environment is modeled as a parallel machine system. A single capacitated vehicle is employed to deliver products in batches to multiple customers. The scheduling problem can also be viewed as either parallel machines with delivery considerations or a flexible flowshop. Different inventory holding costs, job sizes (volume or storage space required in the transportation unit), and job priorities are taken into account. Efficient mathematical modeling and near-optimal heuristic approaches are presented for minimizing total weighted completion time.
