  • 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...

  • 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...

  • 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...

  • Evaluating the effectiveness and efficiency of continuous improvement training

    Creator:
    Wiseman, Lindsay M.
    Abstract:
    Training is a key business process used to increase the skills and knowledge of employees in an effort to improve overall performance. Evaluation of the effectiveness and efficiency of training processes is necessary to ensure time, money, and resources are used to provide the most benefit possible. This investigation is...
