  • 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...

  • Two-stage flexible flow shop scheduling with blocking constraint and batching machines

    Creator:
    Panahi, Hadi
    Abstract:
    In this dissertation, a two stage flexible flow shop scheduling problem is studied, where in stage 1, there are identical batch processors (burnout ovens) and in stage 2, there are identical discrete processors (furnaces). Batch processors perform a pre-heating process on a batch of jobs at a time and discrete...

  • Bi-criteria group scheduling with sequence-dependent setup time in a flow shop

    Creator:
    Lu, Dongchen
    Abstract:
    Cellular manufacturing, which is also referred to as group technology among researchers, has primarily been used as a means to increase productivity, efficiency and flexibility. Under group technology, similar jobs, which have similar shape, material, and processing operations are assigned to the same group. Moreover, dissimilar machines are assigned to...

  • 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...

  • Bi-criteria group scheduling with learning in hybrid flow shops

    Creator:
    Bozorgirad, Mir Abbas
    Abstract:
    In this research, a bi-criteria group scheduling problem is investigated in hybrid flow shop (HFS) environments, where the parallel machines in each stage are unrelated, meaning not identical. The objective of the problem is to minimize a linear combination of the total weighted completion times as a means of complying...

  • Group scheduling in electronics manufacturing with integration of internal and external setup times

    Creator:
    Yazdani Sabouni, Mohammad Taghi
    Abstract:
    This research considers a combinatorial optimization scheduling problem in the assembly of printed circuit boards (PCBs) in electronic manufacturing. For the first time in this research, the preparation process, which is typically called kitting operation, is paid attention to and is performed along with the assembly operation, described in this...

  • 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...
