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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

Dividing Complex Parts into Multiple Pieces for Advanced Joining and Additive Manufacturing

Creator:: Massoni, Brandon R.
Abstract:: Poor material utilization is inherent to conventional manufacturing processes, leading to high material waste and machining times. Additive manufacturing processes attempt to solve this issue by allowing production of near-net shapes, but the processes may be too expensive or infeasible. By leveraging both processes in a single part, the waste...

Log truck scheduling by network programming

Creator:: Shen, Zhenyan
Abstract:: In northeast China, logging has three stages; timber harvest, transportation and the operations inside a timber yard. The timber yard is an intermediate transhipment point between truck transport and rail transport to manufacturing centers. The transhipment capacity of the timber yard is often the limiting acitivity in the logging chain....

Scheduling system of affine recurrence equations by means of piecewise affine timing functions

Creator:: Mui, Lap K.
Abstract:: Many systematic methods exist for mapping algorithms to processor arrays. The algorithm is usually specified as a set of recurrence equations, and the processor arrays are synthesized by finding timing and allocation functions which transform index points in the recurrences into points in a space-time domain. The problem of scheduling...
