This paper considers the problem of scheduling part families and jobs within each part family in a flowline manufacturing cell with independent family setup times where parts (jobs) in each family are processed together. The objective is to minimize total flow time. A branch-and-bound algorithm capable of solving moderate sized problems is developed. Several heuristic algorithms are proposed and empirically evaluated as to their effectiveness and efficiency in finding optimal permutation schedules. These results show that several heuristic algorithms generate solutions that are better than those generated by an existing genetic algorithm. 相似文献

This paper considers the problem of scheduling a given number of jobs on a single machine to minimize total earliness and tardiness when family setup times exist. The paper proposes optimal branch-and-bound algorithms for both the group technology assumption and if the group technology assumption is removed. A heuristic algorithm is proposed to solve larger problems with the group technology assumption removed. The proposed algorithms were empirically evaluated on problems of various sizes and parameters. The paper also explores how the choice of procedure affects total earliness and tardiness if an implementation of lean production methods has resulted in a reduction in setup times. An important finding of these empirical investigations is that scheduling jobs by removing the group technology assumption can significantly reduce total earliness and tardiness. 相似文献

This paper shows that the single machine scheduling problem with multiple operations per job separated by minimum specified time-lags is NP-hard in the strong sense. Seven simple and polynomially bounded heuristic algorithms are developed for its solution when each job requires only two operations. Empirical evaluation shows that the percentage deviation of the heuristic solutions from their lower bounds is quite low and the effectiveness of these heuristic algorithms in finding optimal schedules increases with an increase in the number of jobs. 相似文献

We study the problem of scheduling N independent jobs in a job-shop environment. Each job must be processed on M machines according to individual routes. The objective is to minimize the maximum completion time of the jobs. First, the job-shop problem is reduced to a flow-shop problem with job precedence constraints. Then, a set of flow-shop algorithms are modified to solve it. To evaluate the quality of these heuristics, several lower bounds on the optimal solution have been computed and compared with the heuristic solutions for 3040 problems. The heuristics appear especially promising for job-shop problems with ‘flow-like’ properties. 相似文献

Deteriorating jobs scheduling problems have been extensively studied in recent years. However, it is assumed that there is a common goal to minimize for all jobs in most of the research. In many management situations, multiple agents compete on the usage of a common processing resource. In this paper, we considered a single-machine scheduling problem with a linear deterioration assumption where the objective is to minimize the total weighted completion time of jobs from the first agent with the restriction that no tardy job is allowed for the second agent. We proposed a branch-and-bound algorithm and three heuristic algorithms to search for the optimal solution and near-optimal solutions, respectively. A computational experiment was conducted to evaluate the performance of the proposed algorithms. 相似文献

In this paper we consider the single machine scheduling problem with exponential learning functions. By the exponential learning functions, we mean that the actual job processing time is a function of the total normal processing times of the jobs already processed. We prove that the shortest processing time (SPT) rule is optimal for the total lateness minimization problem. For the following three objective functions, the total weighted completion time, the discounted total weighted completion time, the maximum lateness, we present heuristic algorithms according to the corresponding problems without exponential learning functions. We also analyse the worst-case bound of our heuristic algorithms. It also shows that the problems of minimizing the total tardiness and discounted total weighted completion time are polynomially solvable under some agreeable conditions on the problem parameters. 相似文献

Heuristics for a two-stage hybrid flowshop scheduling problem with ready times and a product-mix ratio constraint 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
This paper focuses on the scheduling problem of minimizing makespan for a given set of jobs in a two-stage hybrid flowshop
subject to a product-mix ratio constraint. There are identical parallel machines at the first stage of the hybrid flowshop,
while there is a single batch-processing machine at the second stage. Ready times of the jobs (at the first stage) may be
different, and a given product-mix ratio of job types should be kept in each batch at the second stage. We present three types
of heuristic algorithms: forward scheduling algorithms, backward scheduling algorithms, and iterative algorithms. To evaluate
performance of the suggested algorithms, a series of computational experiments are performed on randomly generated test problems
and results are reported. 相似文献

Consider a single machine and a set of n jobs that are available for processing at time 0. Job j has a processing time pj, a due date dj and a weight wj. We consider bi-criteria scheduling problems involving the maximum weighted tardiness and the number of tardy jobs. We give NP-hardness proofs for the scheduling problems when either one of the two criteria is the primary criterion and the other one is the secondary criterion. These results answer two open questions posed by Lee and Vairaktarakis in 1993. We consider complexity relationships between the various problems, give polynomial-time algorithms for some special cases, and propose fast heuristics for the general case. The effectiveness of the heuristics is measured by empirical study. Our results show that one heuristic performs extremely well compared to optimal solutions. 相似文献

In this paper, the problem of minimizing the weighted earliness penalty in a single-machine scheduling problem is addressed. For this problem, every job is assumed to be available at time zero and must be completed before or on its deadline. No tardy job is allowed. Each job has its own earliness penalty and deadline. The paper identifies several local optimality conditions for sequencing of adjacent jobs. A heuristic algorithm is developed based on these local optimality conditions. Sample problems are solved and the solutions obtained from the heuristic are compared to solutions obtained from the heuristics developed by Chand and Schneeberger. Also, comparisons are performed between the solutions obtained from the heuristic and the optimal solutions obtained from a mathematical modeling approach for problems involving 10 and 15 jobs. The results show that the developed heuristic produces solutions close to optimal in small size problems, and it also outperforms the Chand and Schneeberger's method. 相似文献

This paper considers two scheduling problems for a two-machine flowshop where a single machine is followed by a batching machine. The first problem is that there is a transporter to carry the jobs between machines. The second problem is that there are deteriorating jobs to be processed on the single machine. For the first problem with minimizing the makespan, we formulate it as a mixed integer programming model and then prove that it is strongly NP-hard. A heuristic algorithm is proposed for solving this problem and its worst case performance is analyzed. The computational experiments are carried out and the numerical results show that the heuristic algorithm is effective. For the second problem, we derive the optimal algorithms with polynomial time for minimizing the makespan, the total completion time and the maximum lateness, respectively. 相似文献

In this paper, we propose different heuristic algorithms for flow shop scheduling problems, where the jobs are partitioned into groups or families. Jobs of the same group can be processed together in a batch but the maximal number of jobs in a batch is limited. A setup is necessary before starting the processing of a batch, where the setup time depends on the group of the jobs. In this paper, we consider the case when the processing time of a batch is given by the maximum of the processing times of the operations contained in the batch. As objective function we consider the makespan as well as the weighted sum of completion times of the jobs. For these problems, we propose and compare various constructive and iterative algorithms. We derive suitable neighbourhood structures for such problems with batch setup times and describe iterative algorithms that are based on different types of local search algorithms. Except for standard metaheuristics, we also apply multilevel procedures which use different neighbourhoods within the search. The algorithms developed have been tested in detail on a large collection of problems with up to 120 jobs. 相似文献

In this paper, we consider a parallel machine scheduling problem in which machines have a limited workload capacity and jobs have deadlines and release dates. The problem is motivated by the operation of energy storage management systems for microgrids under emergency conditions and generalizes some problems that have already been studied in the literature for their theoretical value. In this work, we propose heuristic and exact algorithms to solve the problem. The heuristics are adaptations of classical bin packing heuristics in which additional conditions on the feasibility of a solution are imposed, whereas the exact method is a branch-and-price approach. The results show that the branch-and-price approach is able to optimally solve random instances with up to 250 jobs within a time limit of one hour, while the heuristic procedures provide near optimal solution within reduced running times. Finally, we also provide additional complexity results for a special case of the problem. 相似文献

We consider several single machine scheduling problems in which the processing time of a job is a linear function of its starting time and jobs can be rejected by paying penalties. The objectives are to minimize the makespan, the total weighted completion time and the maximum lateness/tardiness plus the total penalty of the rejected jobs. We show that these problems are NP-hard, and design algorithms based on dynamic programming (including pseudo-polynomial time optimal algorithms and fully polynomial time approximation schemes) to solve them. 相似文献

By exploiting the relationship between scheduling and sorting, this paper describes a functional heuristic algorithm for seeking a quick and approximate solution to the n-job, M-machine flowshop scheduling problem under the assumption that all jobs are processed on all machines in the same order and no passing of jobs is permitted. The proposed functional heuristic algorithm can be executed by hand for reasonably large size problems and yields solutions which are closer to optimal solutions than those obtained by Palmer's slope index algorithm. 相似文献

The problem of scheduling jobs with distinct ready times and due dates in a single machine to minimise the total earliness and tardiness penalties is considered. A constructive heuristic, which determines the sequence of jobs and simultaneously inserts idle times, is proposed. Adjacent pairwise interchange is then applied to the schedule obtained. For problems involving at most 12 jobs the heuristic solutions are compared to optimal solutions. For larger problems with up to 80 jobs the heuristic is tested against a local search based on pairwise interchanges and four dispatching rules presented in the literature. In each case, idle times are optimally inserted. 相似文献

We study a static stochastic single machine scheduling problem in which jobs have random processing times with arbitrary distributions, due dates are known with certainty, and fixed individual penalties (or weights) are imposed on both early and tardy jobs. The objective is to find an optimal sequence that minimizes the expected total weighted number of early and tardy jobs. The general problem is NP-hard to solve; however, in this paper, we develop certain conditions under which the problem is solvable exactly. An efficient heuristic is also introduced to find a candidate for the optimal sequence of the general problem. Our illustrative examples and computational results demonstrate that the heuristic performs well in identifying either optimal sequences or good candidates with low errors. Furthermore, we show that special cases of the problem studied here reduce to some classical stochastic single machine scheduling problems including the problem of minimizing the expected weighted number of early jobs and the problem of minimizing the expected weighted number of tardy jobs which are both solvable by the proposed exact or heuristic methods. 相似文献

This paper focuses on a two-machine re-entrant flowshop scheduling problem with the objective of minimizing makespan. In the re-entrant flowshop considered here, all jobs must be processed twice on each machine, that is, each job should be processed on machine 1, machine 2 and then machine 1 and machine 2. We develop dominance properties, lower bounds and heuristic algorithms for the problem, and use these to develop a branch and bound algorithm. For evaluation of the performance of the algorithms, computational experiments are performed on randomly generated test problems. Results of the experiments show that the suggested branch and bound algorithm can solve problems with up to 200 jobs in a reasonable amount of CPU time. 相似文献

In this paper, we consider a modified shifting bottleneck heuristic for complex job shops. The considered job shop environment contains parallel batching machines, machines with sequence-dependent setup times and reentrant process flows. Semiconductor wafer fabrication facilities (Wafer Fabs) are typical examples for manufacturing systems with these characteristics. Our primary performance measure is total weighted tardiness (TWT). The shifting bottleneck heuristic uses a disjunctive graph to decompose the overall scheduling into scheduling problems for single tool groups. The scheduling algorithms for these scheduling problems are called subproblem solution procedures (SSPs). In previous research, only subproblem solution procedures based on dispatching rules have been considered. In this paper, we are interested in how much we can gain in terms of TWT if we apply more sophisticated subproblem solution procedures like genetic algorithms for parallel machine scheduling. We conduct simulation experiments in a dynamic job shop environment in order to assess the performance of the suggested subproblem solution procedures. It turns out that using near to optimal subproblem solution procedures leads in many situations to improved results compared to dispatching-based subproblem solution procedures. 相似文献

Motivated by just-in-time manufacturing, we consider a single machine scheduling problem with dual criteria, i.e., the minimization of the total weighted earliness subject to minimum number of tardy jobs. We discuss several dominance properties of optimal solutions. We then develop a heuristic algorithm with time complexity O(n3) and a branch and bound algorithm to solve the problem. The computational experiments show that the heuristic algorithm is effective in terms of solution quality in many instances while the branch and bound algorithm is efficient for medium-size problems. 相似文献

A real industrial production phenomenon, referred to as learning effects, has drawn increasing attention. However, most research on this issue considers only single machine problems. Motivated by this limitation, this paper considers flow shop scheduling problems with an exponential learning effect. By the exponential learning effect, we mean that the processing time of a job is defined by an exponent function of its position in a processing permutation. The objective is to minimize one of the four regular performance criteria, namely, the total completion time, the total weighted completion time, the discounted total weighted completion time, and the sum of the quadratic job completion times. We present heuristic algorithms by using the optimal permutations for the corresponding single-machine scheduling problems. We also analyse the worst-case bound of our heuristic algorithms. 相似文献
