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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The principal theme of this book is combinatorial scheduling. All coverage is confined to deterministic results and includes conventional models involving single and multiple processors as well as ones of the classic flow and job shop-like variety. In addition, the book discusses workforce staffing models, timetabling problems, the classroom assignment model, and even problems related to traversals in graphs. The author has included understandable descriptions of computational algorithms, demonstrations of algorithms and theorems with sample problems, and substantial lists of end-of-chapter exercises which span from relatively routine manipulation to increasingly challenging, possibly even open problems. An entire chapter is included on background material. Covered are basic concepts in computational complexity, the theory of graphs, and partial enumeration. The book should appeal to students and researchers in a host of areas including industrial engineering, operations research, computer science, and discrete mathematics.

Download or read book Multiobjective Scheduling by Genetic Algorithms written by Tapan P. Bagchi and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Multiobjective Scheduling by Genetic Algorithms describes methods for developing multiobjective solutions to common production scheduling equations modeling in the literature as flowshops, job shops and open shops. The methodology is metaheuristic, one inspired by how nature has evolved a multitude of coexisting species of living beings on earth. Multiobjective flowshops, job shops and open shops are each highly relevant models in manufacturing, classroom scheduling or automotive assembly, yet for want of sound methods they have remained almost untouched to date. This text shows how methods such as Elitist Nondominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm (ENGA) can find a bevy of Pareto optimal solutions for them. Also it accents the value of hybridizing Gas with both solution-generating and solution-improvement methods. It envisions fundamental research into such methods, greatly strengthening the growing reach of metaheuristic methods. This book is therefore intended for students of industrial engineering, operations research, operations management and computer science, as well as practitioners. It may also assist in the development of efficient shop management software tools for schedulers and production planners who face multiple planning and operating objectives as a matter of course.

The most current material on stochastic scheduling, including correct scheduling of safety time and the use of simulation for optimization, is then presented and integrated with deterministic models. Additional topical coverage includes: Extensions of the basic model Parallel-machine models Flow shop scheduling Scheduling groups of jobs The job shop problem Simulation models for the dynamic job shop Network methods for project scheduling Resource-constrained project scheduling Stochastic and safe scheduling Extensive end-of-chapter exercises are provided, some of which are spreadsheet-oriented, and link scheduling theory to the most popular analytic platform among today's students and practitioners—the Microsoft Office Excel® spreadsheet. Extensive references direct readers to additional literature, and the book's related Web site houses material that reinforces the book's concepts, including research notes, data sets, and examples from the text. Principles of Sequencing and Scheduling is an excellent book for courses on sequencing and scheduling at the upper-undergraduate and graduate levels.

Download or read book Flexibility and Robustness in Scheduling written by Jean-Charles Billaut and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2013-03-01 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scheduling is a broad research area and scheduling problems arise from several application domains (production systems, logistic, computer science, etc.). Solving scheduling problems requires tools of combinatorial optimization, exact or approximated algorithms. Flexibility is at the frontier between predictive deterministic approaches and reactive or "on-line" approaches. The purpose of flexibility is to provide one or more solutions adapted to the context of the application in order to provide the ideal solution. This book focuses on the integration of flexibility and robustness considerations in the study of scheduling problems. After considering both flexibility and robustness, it then covers various scheduling problems, treated with an emphasis on flexibility or robustness, or both.
