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...

Linking equations for the analysis of a serial automated workstation system

Creator:: Nagarajan, Raghavendran D.
Abstract:: In this research, an analytical model for analyzing a production line consisting of a series of automated workstations with infinite buffers is developed. Automated workstations are assumed to have deterministic processing times, and independent exponentially distributed operating time between failures and repair times. The analytical model starts with existing results...

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...

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...
