The Batch Scheduling Model for Dynamic Multi-item, Multi-level Production in Assembly Job Shop with Parallel Machines

Abstract

Most classical scheduling approaches deal with single products, single machines, and static manufacturing environments. In real-world manufacturing systems, however, scheduling can be assigned for multi-item production on multimachines in a dynamic environment in which unexpected new orders may be received. This paper focuses on scheduling problems in an assembly job shop with parallel machines that produce multi-item multi-level products. Models were developed for due date fulfillment and due date assignment in static and dynamic conditions, with the objectives of minimizing total actual flow time, while considering the defect rate at each stage of the process. The insertion technique was used in the scheduling process; insertion can be performed in batch operations at all available positions on all machines. A hypothetical case of job shop scheduling problems associated with multi-item, multi-level production on parallel machines was studied, and the computational results demonstrated the validity of the proposed algorithms.

A New Hybrid Metaheuristics Algorithm for Minimizing Energy Consumption in the Flow Shop Scheduling Problem

“…The electricity consumption of the sector needs fossil fuels for electricity generation; therefore, experts consider such consumption to be a problem because of the decreasing availability of these fuels. Some experts have made efforts to minimize TEC, one of which is scheduling, which refers to the arrangement of resources (machines) to complete the job (Surjandari et al, 2015). Generally, the goal of scheduling is to minimize completion time (Thawongklang & Tanwanichkul, 2016).…”

Agent-based modelling and heuristic approach for solving complex OEM flow-shop productions under customer disruptions

“…Lozano and Medaglia (2014) investigated disruption problems caused by sequence-dependent batch and product incompatibilities in an automotive glass facility. Surjandari et al (2015) based their study on disruption related to scheduling in an assembly job shop with parallel machines that produce multi-item multi-level product. Wang et al (2012) studied disruption impacting the quality of product sequencing.…”
