Optimization Model in Manufacturing Scheduling for the Garment Industry

Abstract

The garment industry in Vietnam is one of the country's strongest industries in the world. However, the production process still encounters problems regarding scheduling that does not equate to an optimal process. The paper introduces a production scheduling solution that resolves the potential delays and lateness that hinders the production process using integer programming and order allocation with a make-to-order manufacturing viewpoint. A number of constraints were considered in the model and is applied to a real case study of a factory in order to view how the tardiness and lateness would be affected which resulted in optimizing the scheduling time better. Specifically, the constraints considered were order assignments, production time, and tardiness with an objective function which is to minimize the total cost of delay. The results of the study precisely the overall cost of delay of the orders given to the plant and successfully propose a suitable production schedule that utilizes the most of the plant given. The study has shown promising results that would assist plant and production managers in determining an algorithm that they can apply for their production process.

“…In scheduling, an effective encoding method is crucial for the overall optimization of scheduling solutions [18]. For JSSP, this paper employs a process-based encoding method.…”

Production management model to reduce non-fulfillment of orders in Peruvian garment SMEs through 5S, SMED and standardization tools

“…The inability of some textile companies to respond quickly to changes in production, process, quality, delivery and cost change, to cope with the changing or unstable environment and circumstances, can make them liable for penalty or losses due to failure to deliver. Penalties can sometimes be large and severely damage the credibility of the company when orders are delivered late [8].…”

Coordinating Production and Delivery Schedule of Multi-Product and Multi-Customer through Mathematical Programming

“…In the make-to-order environment, determining the production schedule is important [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10]. This decision is made for satisfying various purposes, with the most common purpose being to meet the customer delivery due dates [1,4,[10][11][12][13][14][15]. Frequently, this production schedule decision is made in conjunction with other decisions.…”
