Abstract:The following paper is a case study for scheduling of assembly processes. Two optimization methods, mixed integer programming (MIP) solver and heuristic simulation-based optimization are compared to each other. It can be shown, up to which model complexity the solver methods have the advantage over the simulation-based methods concerning a possible online application. Both, the mathematical formulation as well as the discrete event simulation (DES) system bases on a meta-model -a special Petri net. It is shown… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
