This study presents an application of adaptive particle swarm optimization (APSO) to solving the bi-level job-shop scheduling problem (JSP). The test problem presented here is $10{\times}10$ JSP (ten jobs and ten machines) with tribottleneck machines formulated as a bi-level formulation. APSO is used to solve the test problem and the result is compared with the result solved by basic PSO. The results of the test problem show that the results from APSO are significantly different when compared with the result from basic PSO in terms of the upper level objective value and the iteration number in which the best solution is first identified, but there is no significant difference in the lower objective value. These results confirmed that the quality of solutions from APSO is better than the basic PSO. Moreover, APSO can be used directly on a new problem instance without the exercise to select parameters.

Lot-streaming is the process of splitting a job (lot) into a number of smaller sublots and then scheduling these sublots in order to accelerate the completion of jobs in a multi-stage production system. Anew genetic algorithm (NGA) is proposed for an-job, m-machine, equal-size sublot lot-streaming flow shop scheduling problem with delivery windows in which the objective is to minimize the mean weighted absolute deviation of job completion times from due dates. The performance of NGA is compared with that of an adjacent pairwise interchange (API) method and the results of computational experiments show that NGA works well for this type of problem.

This paper presents an efficient heuristic technique for minimizing the objectives related to tardiness such as total tardiness, maximum tardiness and root mean of tardiness in the job shop scheduling. The heuristic technique iteratively improves an active schedule through exploring the schedule's neighborrhood, using operation move methods. The move operatio is defined on an active chain of tardy jobs in the active schedule. To find the move operations which have a high probability of reducing tardiness, we develop move methods by exploiting the properties of active chains. Our technique is compared with the two existing heuristic techniques, that is, MEHA(Modified Exchange Heuristic Algorithm) and GSP(Global Scheduling Procedure) under the various environmental with the three levels of due date tightness and several sized problems. The experimental results show that the proposed technique outperforms the two exissting techiques in terms of solution quality and computation time.

To make a scheduling for minimizing the tardiness of delivery, we present an efficient heuristic algorithm for job-shop scheduling problems with due dates. The SDME(Slack Degree Modified Exchange) algorithm, which is the proposed heuristic algorithm, carries out the operation in two phases. In the phase 1, a dispatching rule is employed to generate an active or non-delay initial schedule. In the phase 2, tasks selected from a predetermined set of promising target operations in the initial schedule are tested to ascertain whether, by left-shifting their start times and rearranging some subset of the remaining operations, one can reduce the total tardiness. In the numerical example, the results indicate that the proposed SDME algorithm is capable of yielding notable reductions in the total tardiness for practical size problems.

Advanced planning and scheduling (APS) refers to a manufacturing management process by which raw materials and production capacity are optimally allocated to meet demand. APS is especially well-suited to environments where simpler planning methods cannot adequately address complex trade-offs between competing priorities. However, most scheduling problems of APS in the real world face both inevitable constraints such as due date, capability, transportation cost, set up cost and available resources. In this survey paper, we address three crucial issues in APS, including basic scheduling model, job-shop scheduling (JSP), assembly line balancing (ALB) model, and integrated scheduling models for manufacturing and logistics. Several evolutionary algorithms which adapt to the problems are surveyed and proposed; some test instances based on the practical problems demonstrate the effectiveness and efficiency of evolutionary approaches.

In this study, we design a scheduling system for painting shop, called HYPOS(Hyundai heavy industry Painting shop Operating System) and develop a system implementing the design. The painting shop operations are currently scheduled manually by experts. Manual scheduling is a serious time consuming job and generally can not guarantee a full optimality. Building a traditional heuristic scheduling system lot this problem, however, is not promising because there are various kinds of constraints to be satisfied including space allocation of shipbuilding blocks in a painting cell. We, therefore, adopt a spatial scheduling approach and develop scheduling algorithms based on field-oriented scheduling heuristics and computational geometry. And we show that the algorithms can successfully be applied to the painting shop scheduling problem.

As recent production facilities are usually operated with unmanned material-handling system, the development of an efficient schedule with deadlock avoidance becomes a critical problem. Related researches on deadlock avoidance usually focus on real-time control of manufacturing system using deadlock avoidance policy. But little off-line optimization of deadlock-free schedule has been reported. This paper presents an optimization method for deadlock-free scheduling for Job-Shop system with no buffer. The deadlock-free schedule is acquired by the procedure that generates candidate lists of waiting operations, and applies a deadlock avoidance policy. To verify the proposed approach, simulation resultsare presented for minimizing makespan in three problem types. According to the simulation results the effect of each deadlock avoidance policy is dependent on the type of problem. When the proposed LOEM (Last Operation Exclusion Method) is employed, computing time for optimization as well as makespan is reduced.

The paper is devoted to some flow shop scheduling problems, where job processing times are defined by functions dependent on their positions in the schedule. An example is constructed to show that the classical Johnson's rule is not the optimal solution for two different models of the two-machine flow shop scheduling to minimize makespan. In order to solve the makespan minimization problem in the two-machine flow shop scheduling, we suggest Johnson's rule as a heuristic algorithm, for which the worst-case bound is calculated. We find polynomial time solutions to some special cases of the considered problems for the following optimization criteria: the weighted sum of completion times and maximum lateness. Some furthermore extensions of the problems are also shown.

This paper suggests a decision tree based approach for flexible job shop scheduling with multiple process plans. The problem is to determine the operation/machine pairs and the sequence of the jobs assigned to each machine. Two decision tree based scheduling mechanisms are developed for static and dynamic flexible job shops. In the static case, all jobs are given in advance and the decision tree is used to select a priority dispatching rule to process all the jobs. Also, in the dynamic case, the jobs arrive over time and the decision tree, updated regularly, is used to select a priority rule in real-time according to a rescheduling strategy. The two decision tree based mechanisms were applied to a flexible job shop case with reconfigurable manufacturing cells and a conventional job shop, and the results are reported for various system performance measures.

This study focuses on a job-shop scheduling problem with the objective of minimizing total tardiness for the job orders that have different due dates and different process flows. We suggest the dispatching rule based scheduling algorithm to generate fast and efficient schedule. First, we show the delay schedule can be optimal for total tardiness measure in some cases. Based on this observation, we expand search space for selecting the job operation to explore the delay schedules. That means, not only all job operations waiting for process but also job operations not arrived at the machine yet are considered to be scheduled when a machine is available and it is need decision for the next operation to be processed. Assuming each job operation is assigned to the available machine, the expected total tardiness is estimated, and the job operation with the minimum expected total tardiness is selected to be processed in the machine. If this job is being processed in the other machine, then machine should wait until the job arrives at the machine. Simulation experiments are carried out to test the suggested algorithm and compare with the results of other well-known dispatching rules such as EDD, ATC and COVERT, etc. Results show that the proposed algorithm, MET, works better in terms of total tardiness of orders than existing rules without increasing the number of tardy jobs.
