A main issue about production management of shipyards is to efficiently manage the work in process and logistics. However, so far the management of a transporter for moving building blocks has not been efficiently performed. To solve the issues, optimal block transporting scheduling system is developed for minimizing of the travel distance without overload of a transporter. To implement the developed system, a hybrid optimization algorithm for an optimal block transportation scheduling is proposed by combining the genetic algorithm and the ant algorithm. Finally, to evaluate the applicability of the developed system, it is applied to a block transportation scheduling problem of shipyards. The result shows that the developed system can generate the optimal block transportation scheduling of a transporter which minimizes the travel distance without overload of the transporter.

트랜스포터란 조선소에서 작업장 간에 조선 블록을 운반하는 장비이다. 트랜스포터 일정 계획을 효율적으로 하는 것은 선박 건조과정에서 매우 중요한 역할을 한다. 블록 운반에 있어서의 트랜스포터 일정 계획에 관한 몇몇 연구들이 수행되었다. 이러한 연구들은 트랜스포터 결합을 고려하지 않았다. 본 논문에서는 결합을 고려한 효율적인 트랜스포터 일정 계획 모형을 제안한다. 수리적 모형에서는 운영 비용을 최소화하면서 트랜스포터 간의 작업 부하를 가능한 균등하게 하는 것을 목적으로 하였다. 또한 본 모형의 해를 탐색하기 위해 타부 서치 기반의 세 가지 휴리스틱 알고리즘을 제시하였으며 컴퓨터 실험을 통해 제안된 휴리스틱들의 효율성을 검증하였다.

This paper considers a transporter scheduling problem under dynamic block transportation environment in shipbuilding. In dynamic situations, there exist the addition or cancellation of block transportation requirements, sudden breakdowns and maintenance of transporters. The transportation of the blocks in the shipyard has some distinct characteristics. Some blocks are available to be picked up at a specific time during the planning horizon while some other blocks need to be delivered before a specific time. These requirements cause two penalty times : 1) delay times incurred when a block is picked up after a required start time, and 2) tardy times incurred when a block shipment is completed after the required delivery time. The blocks are located at different areas in the shipyard and transported by transporters. The objective of this paper is to propose heuristic algorithms which minimize the weighted sum of empty transporter travel times, delay times, and tardy times. Four heuristic algorithms for transporter scheduling are proposed and their performance is evaluated.

This paper considers a transporter scheduling problem under dynamic block transportation environment in shipbuilding. In dynamic situations, there exist the addition, cancellation or change of block transportation requirements, sudden breakdowns and maintenance of transporters. The transportation of the blocks in the shipyard has some distinct characteristics. Some blocks are available to be picked up at a specific time during the planning horizon while some other blocks need to be delivered before a specific time. These requirements cause two penalty times: 1) delay times incurred when a block is picked up after a required start time, and 2) tardy times incurred when a block shipment is completed after the required delivery time. The blocks are located at different areas in the shipyard and transported by transporters. The objective of this paper is to propose a heuristic algorithm based on a network flow model which minimize the weighted sum of empty transporter travel times, delay times, and tardy times. Also, a rolling-horizon scheduling method is proposed for dynamic block transportation environment. The performance of the proposed heuristic algorithms are evaluated through a simulation experiment.

대형 조선소에서 하루 수십, 수백 개의 블록 이동이 있고 이동량이 많아지면 트랜스포터의 수, 운전기사, 신호수의 요구 증가를 야기해 비용 증가에 영향을 미친다. 또한 조선소에서 블록 이동은 공정 사이의 흐름에 영향을 미치며 전체 일정을 지연시킬 수도 있다. 그러므로 잘짜여진 블록 이동문제는 생산성 증가과 총 비용 감소에 있어 중요하다. 트랜스포터를 이용하여 블록을 이동하는데 트랜스포터란 고가의 특수운반차량으로 조선소에서 종류별(수백톤급)로 보유하고 있다. 트랜스포터는 가용 중량 이상의 블록을 이동할 수 없는데 이 때 두 대 이상의 차량을 결합하여 운반할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 블록 무게와 트랜스포터의 적재 용량을 고려한 트랜스포터의 일정계획 문제를 다룬다. 계획된 공정 시간에 맞춰 블록이 도착할 수 있도록(지연시간 최소화)하는 모형을 정의하고 휴리스틱 알고리즘을 제안한다. 그리고 실험을 통해 최적화 모형과 휴리스틱 알고리즘의 효과를 검증하고자 한다.

Recently, a shipyard is making every effort to efficiently manage equipments of resources such as a gantry crane, transporter, and so on. So far block lifting scheduling of a gantry crane has been manually performed by a manager of the shipyard, and thus it took much time to get scheduling results and moreover the quality of them was not optimal. To improve this, a block lifting scheduling system of the gantry crane using optimization techniques was developed in this study. First, a block lifting scheduling problem was mathematically formulated as a multi-objective optimization problem, considering the minimization of travel distance at an idle state and wire replacement during block lifting. Then, to solve the problem, a meta-heuristic optimization algorithm based on the genetic algorithm was proposed. To evaluate the efficiency and applicability of the developed system, it was applied to an actual block lifting scheduling problem of the shipyard. The result shows that blocks can be efficiently lifted by the gantry crane using the developed system, compared to manual scheduling by a manager.

We consider problems of tool loading and scheduling in a flexible manufacturing system (FMS) in which tool transportation constitutes the major portion of material flows. In this type of FMSs, parts are initially assigned to machines and released to the machines according to input sequencing rules. Operations for the parts released to the machines are performed by tools initially loaded onto the machines or provided by an automatic tool transport robot when needed. For an efficient operation of such systems, therefore, we may have to consider loading and scheduling problems for tools in addition to those for parts. In this paper, we consider three problems, part loading, tool loading, and tool scheduling problems with the overall objective of minimizing the makespan. The part loading problem is solved by a method similar to that for the bin packing problem and then a heuristic based on the frequency of tool usage is applied for tool loading. Also suggested are part input sequencing and tool scheduling rules. To show the effectiveness of the overall algorithm suggested here, we compare it with an existing algorithm through a series of computational tests on randomly generated test problems.

The operation planning of transports used to move blocks is the one of key factors. Furthermore, reducing the running time through the effective plan contributes to pulling forward the whole logistic process of the shipyard and substantially saving the fuel consumption of itself as well. The past researches of the transporter focused on finding only the shortest distances, so called, Manhattan distance. However, these searching approaches cannot help having the significant difference in the real operational time and distance with the minimum cost approach which considers the speed retardation for turns or safety at the intersection. This study suggests the noble transporter's operational model which could take account of the consuming operational time around the crossroads on the shipyard. Concretely, the proposed method guarantees the minimization of transporters' turns and passage number which are huge burdensome to the operation time and the whole planning of transports with the given period. Resultantly, this paper is willing to explain the appropriateness of our approach, compared with the previous ones.

본 연구에서는 트랜스포터의 할당 및 운행 순서를 최적화하기 위한 유전 알고리즘을 제안한다. 유전 알고리즘의 해는 리스트의 집합으로 표현되는데 각 리스트는 해당 트랜스포터가 작업할 순서를 나타낸다. 또한 성능 향상을 위해 효과적인 지역 탐색 연산을 결합한 혼합형 유전 알고리즘의 형태로 구현하였다. 지역 탐색 연산은 작업량이 적은 트랜스포터에서 작업의 블록을 꺼내어 다른 트랜스포터의 작업 목록에 삽입함으로써 트랜스포터 운용 대수의 감소를 유도한다. 제안하는 알고리즘의 효용성을 평가하기 위해 실제 조선소와 유사한 규모의 시뮬레이션 환경을 통해 Multi-Start 및 순수 유전알고리즘과 비교하였다. 가장 큰 규모의 문제에 대해 그들에 비해 트랜스 포터 수는 각각 40% 및 34%, 총작업 소요 시간은 27% 및 17% 감소시켰다.
