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.

This paper presents an approach for classifying scheduling problems and selecting a heuristic rule to yield best solution in terms of certain performance measure(s). Classification parameters are employed from previous studies on job shop scheduling and project scheduling. Neural network is used for learning and estimating the performance of heuristic rules. In addition, multi-criteria decision making techniques are employed to combine the preferences for each performance measure and heuristic rule for the problems with multi-objectives.

This paper deals with the makespan minimization problem of job shops. The problem is known as one of hard problems to optimize, and therefore, many heuristic methods have been proposed by many researchers. The aim of this study is also to propose a heuristic scheduling method for the problem. However, the difference between the proposed method and many other heuristics is that the proposed method is based on depth-first branch and bound, and thus it is possible to find an optimal solution at least in principle. To accelerate the search, when a node is judged hopeless in the search tree, the proposed flexible branch and bound method can indicate a higher backtracking node. The unexplored nodes are stored and may be explored later to realize the strict optimization. Two methods are proposed to generate the backtracking point based on the critical path of the current best feasible schedule, and the minimum lower bound for the makespan in the unexplored sub-problems. Schedules are generated based on Giffler and Thompson's active schedule generation algorithm. Acceleration of the search by the flexible branch and bound is confirmed by numerical experiment.

The purpose of this paper is to describe an effective cell scheduling system for flexible manufacturing cells. Based on the FMC characteristics, cell scheduling can be defined as a dynamic modified flow shop working in a real-time system. This paper attempt to find the optimal cell scheduling when minimizing the mean flow time for n-job/m-machine problems in static and dynamic environments. Real-time scheduling in an FMC environment requires rapid computation of the schedule.

This research shows that fuzzy set theory can be useful in modeling and solving flow shop scheduling problems with uncertain processing times and illustrates a method for solving job sequencing problem which the opinions of experts disagree in each processing time. In this study, FCDS (Fuzzified Campbell-Dudek-Smith) algorithm and FNEH (Fuzzified Nawaz-Enscope-Ham) algorithm are proposed to improve the fuzzified Branch & Bound algorithm that requires long run-time and computational complexities to find the optimal sequence. These proposed algorithms are also designed to treat opinions of experts. In this paper, Fuzzy processing times are expressed as triangular fuzzy numbers and comparison method use Lee-Li method and ranking method based on the dominance property. On the basis of the proposed method, an example is presented.

This paper considers a two-stage hybrid flow shop scheduling problem for the objective of minimizing the number of tardy jobs. Each job is processed through the two production stages in stages, each of which has multiple identical parallel machines. The problem is to determine the allocation and sequence of jobs at each stage. A branch and bound algorithm that gives the optimal solutions is suggested that incorporates the methods to obtain the lower and upper bounds. Dominance properties are also suggested to reduce the search space. To show the performance of the algorithm, computational experiments are done on randomly generated problems, and the results are reported.

Scheduling is an important tool for a manufacturing system, where it can have a major impact on the productivity of a production process. In manufacturing systems, the purpose of scheduling is to minimize the production time and costs, by assigning a production facility when to make, with which staff, and on which equipment. Production scheduling aims to maximize the efficiency of the operation and reduce the costs. In order to find an optimal solution to manufacturing scheduling problems, it attempts to solve complex combinatorial optimization problems. Unfortunately, most of them fall into the class of NP-hard combinatorial problems. Genetic algorithm (GA) is one of the generic population-based metaheuristic optimization algorithms and the best one for finding a satisfactory solution in an acceptable time for the NP-hard scheduling problems. GA is the most popular type of evolutionary algorithm. In this survey paper, we address firstly multiobjective hybrid GA combined with adaptive fuzzy logic controller which gives fitness assignment mechanism and performance measures for solving multiple objective optimization problems, and four crucial issues in the manufacturing scheduling including a mathematical model, GA-based solution method and case study in flexible job-shop scheduling problem (fJSP), automatic guided vehicle (AGV) dispatching models in flexible manufacturing system (FMS) combined with priority-based GA, recent advanced planning and scheduling (APS) models and integrated systems for manufacturing.

Constructing a distributed management system has its own advantages in addressing the issue of implementing a quick responsive management system in dynamically changing environment of enterprise. We suggest a basic scheduling methodology applicable to a distributed production management system. A new concept of "flexible schedule" is introduced as a tool to accommodate dynamically changing situations of job shops. Then a search technique (referred to as CSP-CBA search) is presented to obtain such a schedule for the job shop scheduling problem, which is converted into a constraint satisfaction problem(CSP), by using the constraint based analysis(CBA). This approach is tested on more than 100 test problems. The results show that the suggested approach required shorter CPU time and solved more problems in given time than another fixed schedule method.

A sequencing problem is to find an ordered sequence of some entities which maximizes (or minimize) the domain specific objective function. As some typical examples of sequencing problems, there are traveling salesman problem, job shop scheduling, flow shop scheduling, and so on. This paper introduces a new type of sequencing problems, named a sequencing problem with fuzzy preference relation, where a fuzzy preference relation is provided for the evaluation of the quality of sequences. It presents how such a problem can be formulated in terms of objective function. It also proposes a genetic algorithm applicable to such a sequencing problem.
