  • Group-scheduling problems in electronics manufacturing

    Creator:
    Geloğullari, Cumhur Alper
    Abstract:
    This dissertation addresses the "multi-machine carryover sequence dependent group-scheduling problem with anticipatory setups," which arises in the printed circuit board (PCB) manufacturing. Typically, in PCB manufacturing different board types requiring similar components are grouped together to reduce setup times and increase throughput. The challenge is to determine the sequence of...

  • An efficient methodology for scheduling general flexible manufacturing systems

    Creator:
    Sonthinen, Adulwit
    Abstract:
    Flexible Manufacturing Systems (FMSs) have evolved rapidly over the last decade. One important factor that influences the performance of FMS is scheduling. Scheduling in an FMS differs from that in a conventional job-shop because each operation of a job may be performed by any one of several machines. Most studies...

  • Bi-Criteria Batching and Scheduling in Hybrid Flow Shops

    Creator:
    Shahvari, Omid
    Abstract:
    In this research, a bi-criteria batching and scheduling problem is investigated in hybrid flow shop environments, where unrelated-parallel machines are run simultaneously with different capacities and eligibilities in processing, in some stages. The objective is to simultaneously minimize a linear combination of the total weighted completion time and total weighted...

  • Bi-criteria Scheduling in an Assembly Flow Shop with Limited Buffer Storage and Shift Production

    Creator:
    Aryal, Ayush R.
    Abstract:
    In this research, the comparative performance of permutation and non-permutation schedules is investigated in an assembly flow shop (AFS) with shift production, where a limited buffer storage is available between two machines. Most of the traditional scheduling problems consider continuous production, i.e., production occurs for 24 hours (3 * 8-hour...

  • A methodology for real-time scheduling of jobs with splitting on unrelated parallel machines

    Creator:
    Subur, Fenny
    Abstract:
    Unrelated parallel machines are machines that perform the same function but have different capacity or capability. Thus, the processing time of each job would be different on machines of different types. The scheduling environment considered is dynamic in both job release time and machine availability. Additionally, each job considered can...

  • A mathematical modeling framework for scheduling and managing multiple concurrent tasks

    Creator:
    Shakeri, Shakib
    Abstract:
    Occurrence of human error in highly complex systems, such as a cockpit, can be disastrous and/or overwhelmingly costly. Mismanagement of multiple concurrent tasks has been observed by researchers to be a type of repetitive human error in previous studies of accidents and incidents. This error may occur in the form...

  • Multi-stage group scheduling problems with sequence dependent setups

    Creator:
    Salmasi, Nasser
    Abstract:
    The challenges faced by manufacturing companies have forced them to become more efficient. Cellular manufacturing is a concept that has been accepted as a technique for increasing manufacturing productivity in batch type production by efficient grouping of parts (jobs) with some similarities in processing operations into groups and sequentially matching...

  • Hybrid flowshop scheduling with dual resources in a supply chain

    Creator:
    Mehravaran, Yasaman
    Abstract:
    This dissertation addresses a hybrid-flow shop scheduling problem with dual resource constraints in a supply chain. Most of the traditional scheduling problems deal with machine as the only resource. However, other resources such as labor is not only required for processing jobs but are often constrained. Considering the second resource...

  • A methodology for scheduling jobs in a flexible flowshop with sequence dependent setup times and machine skipping

    Creator:
    Pandya, Vaibhav
    Abstract:
    A flexible flowshop, comprised of one or more stages having unrelated parallel machines, is investigated in this research. Unrelated parallel machines can perform the same function but have different capacity or capability. Since this problem is motivated by industry research, dynamic job release times and dynamic machine availability times have...
