  • Design and implementation of a production scheduling system for continuous manufacturing environment

    Creator:
    Rai, Nivruti
    Abstract:
    Scheduling a continuous manufacturing flow shop environment with several machines, stochastic arrival of demands, different product requirements and limited resources is a complex task. This research develops a methodology for scheduling products in glass fiber industry. The system consists of two components. An optimizing linear program determines the optimal solution...

  • Evaluation of scheduling heuristics for non-identical parallel processors

    Creator:
    Kuo, Chun-Ho
    Abstract:
    An evaluation of scheduling heuristics for non-identical parallel processors was performed. There has been limited research that has focused on scheduling of parallel processors. This research generalizes the results from prior work in this area and examines complex scheduling rules in terms of flow time, tardiness, and proportion of tardy...

  • An experimental investigation of scheduling non-identical parallel processors with sequence-dependent set-up times and due dates

    Creator:
    Smith, Terrence A.
    Abstract:
    An experimental investigation of factors effecting scheduling a system of parallel, non-identical processors using a series of experimental designs was carried out. System variables included were processor capacities relationships, sequencing and assignment rules, job size, and product demand distributions. The effect of the variables was measured by comparing mean flow...

  • Simulation-based design evaluation of automated storage/retrieval systems

    Creator:
    Shroff, Raj N.
    Abstract:
    Automated storage and Retrieval (AS/R) systems have had a significant impact on storage and retrieval of finished goods, work-in-process, and raw materials and supplies. A microcomputer-based simulation model was developed to evaluate different unit load AS/R systems serving multiple input sources and output destinations. The simulation results were statistically analyzed...

  • Heuristic algorithm for multistage scheduling in food processing industry

    Creator:
    Juwono, Cynthia P.
    Abstract:
    A multistage production system consists of a number of production stages that are interrelated, that is the output from one stage forms input to the next stage. There are constraints associated with each stage as well as constraints imposed by the overall system. Besides, there are multiple objectives that need...
