This paper presents possibilistic job scheduling based on the membership function as an alternative to probabilistic job scheduling and illustrates a methodology for solving job sequencing problem which the opinions of experts greatly disagree in each processing time. Triangular fuzzy numbers are used to represent the processing times of experts. Here, the comparison method is based on the dominance property. The criteria for dominance are presented. By the dominance criteria, for each job, a mojor TFN and a minor TFN are selected and apessimistic sequence with mojor TFNs and an optimistic sequence with minor TFNs are computed. The three-machine flow shop problem is considered as an example to illustrate the approach.

This paper is concerned with flow shop scheduling problems having the common due date. V-shape property is used for algorithms with early and tardy penalty cost. The objective of this paper is developing efficient heuristic scheduling algorithms for minimizing total penalty cost function and determining the optimal common due date. The between job delay and the work in process are considered for developing algorithms as penalty cost. Algorithms is simulated to analyze interrelated factors. A numerical example is given for illustrating the proposed algorithms.

This paper is concerned with a flow-shop scheduling problem for all jobs having the common due date using V-Shape penalty cost function for earliness and lateness. The objective of the paper is to develop an efficient heuristic scheduling algorithm for minimizing total penalty cost function and for determining the optimal common due date. In addition, the between-job-delay for two machines are considered for developing the algorithm. A numerical example is given for illustrating the proposed algorithm.

Production scheduling has been one of the most critical issues in a manufacturing environment Job-shop scheduling problems(JSP) are well know from the standpoint of production planning and operations control in this research scheduling against due date is a measure of performance and the objective is minimizing total weighted tardiness This paper presents an idea of decomposition of the problem and shows robustmess of the schedule under various disturbances along with exact and approximation methods. The proposed method can indeed handle shop disturbances more effectively when compared with traditional and dynamic scheduling methods.

The job shop scheduling problem (JSSP) plays a critical role in smart manufacturing, an effective JSSP scheduler could save time cost and increase productivity. Conventional methods are very time-consumption and cannot deal with complicated JSSP instances as it uses one optimal algorithm to solve JSSP. This paper proposes an effective scheduler based on deep learning technology named self-supervised long-short term memory (SS-LSTM) to handle complex JSSP accurately. First, using the optimal method to generate sufficient training samples in small-scale JSSP. SS-LSTM is then applied to extract rich feature representations from generated training samples and decide the next action. In the proposed SS-LSTM, two channels are employed to reflect the full production statues. Specifically, the detailed-level channel records 18 detailed product information while the system-level channel reflects the type of whole system states identified by the k-means algorithm. Moreover, adopting a self-supervised mechanism with LSTM autoencoder to keep high feature extraction capacity simultaneously ensuring the reliable feature representative ability. The authors implemented, trained, and compared the proposed method with the other leading learning-based methods on some complicated JSSP instances. The experimental results have confirmed the effectiveness and priority of the proposed method for solving complex JSSP instances in terms of make-span.

Scheduling jobs effectively under consideration of actual loads on machines is one of the most complicated tasks in production control. The complexity of the finite capacity scheduling often makes the conventional methods of industrial engineering fail. As an alternative, Knowledge-based approaches to job-shop scheduling have been evolved recently. This paper presents a blackboard- based scheduling expert system which combines knowledge-based scheduling with interactive scheduling. It is shown to be possible to generate the feasible schedule within a reasonable time. Flexible reaction management is also possible while keeping the changes in the generated schedule to the minimal and adjusting the schedule to tardy operations or working environmental changes. The system is equipped with a rule base with heuristics for handling conflicted event. A case study applying the implemented system is described.

The objective of this study is to develop a knowledge-based scheduler applying simulation and knowledge base. This study utilizes a machine induction to build knowledge base which enables knowledge acquisition without domain expert. In this study, the best job dispatching rule for each order is selected according to the specifications of the order information. And these results are built to the fact base and knowledge base using the attribute-oriented induction method and simulation. When a new order enters in the developed system, the scheduler retrieves the knowledge base in order to find a matching record. If there is a matching record, the scheduling will be carried out by using the job dispatching rule saved in the knowledge base. Otherwise the best rule will be added to the knowledge base as a new record after scheduling to all the rules. When all these above steps finished the system will furnish a learning function.

There are two methods of load balancing for detail scheduling : One method is to generate an initial schedule and obtain an improved final schedule by load balancing only during a specific period. The other method is to generate an initial schedule and obtain an improved schedule by load balancing from current date(TIMENOW) to unlimited time with the whole manufacturing processes. This paper proposes an algorithm for detail scheduling which can be a practical solution in job shop production or project job type by applying the former method.

This paper is concerned with an n jobs one machine Job shop scheduling problems in which all jobs have a common due date and unequal penalties occur when a job is completed before or after due date. The objective is to determine an optimal sequence and the corresponding common due date that yield the global minimum value of a penalty function Then a sequence that minimize the penalty function globally is a V-shaped sequence Using the idea of linear equations and a LGP(Linear Goal Programming), this paper shows that LGP and MAD(Mean Absolute Deviation) are equivalent problems. Therefore an efficient algorithm that is developed for MAD problem holds for LGP problem and vice-versa. A numerical example to account for the algorithm is provided.
