Shop Scheduling

A wide area of scheduling problem is industrial so-called shop scheduling (Job Shop, Flow Shop and Open Shop) which has important applications in real world industrial problems. Metaheuristic algorithms(Genetic and Tabu search algorithms in this case) seem to be one of the best candidates for finding nearbyoptima in proper time. In this work we implemented several genetic algorithms (separated by values oftheir parameters) and several Tabu search algorithms (separated by neighborhood of solution). Finally, implemented eight algorithms are examined for random shop scheduling problems in terms of variouscriteria.

One of the discussed topics in scheduling problems is Dynamic Flexible Job Shop with Parallel Machines (FDJSPM). Surveys show that this problem because of its concave and nonlinear nature usually has several local optimums. Some of the scheduling problems researchers think that genetic algorithms (GA) are appropriate approach to solve optimization problems of this kind. But researches show that one of the disadvantages of classical genetic algorithms is premature convergence and the probability of trap into the local optimum. Considering these facts, in present research, represented a developed genetic algorithm that its controlling parameters change during algorithm implementation and optimization process. This approach decreases the probability of premature convergence and trap into the local optimum. The several experiments were done show that the priority of proposed procedure of solving in field of the quality of obtained solution and convergence speed toward other present procedure.

This paper aims produce an academic scheduling system using Genetic Algorithm (GA) to solve the academic schedule. Factors to consider in academic scheduling are the lecture to be held, the available room, the lecturers and the time of the lecturer, the suitability of the credits with the time of the lecture, and perhaps also the time of Friday prayers, and so forth. Genetic Algorithms can provide the best solution for some solutions in dealing with scheduling problems. Based on the test results, the resulting system can automate the scheduling of lectures properly. Determination of parameter values in Genetic Algorithm also gives effect in producing the solution of lecture schedule

Purpose: Today’s manufacturing facilities are challenged by highly customized products and just in time manufacturing and delivery of these products. In this study, a batch scheduling problem is addressed to provide on-time completion of customer orders in the environment of lean manufacturing. The problem is to optimize partitioning of product components into batches and scheduling of the resulting batches where each customer order is received as a set of products made of various components.Design/methodology/approach: Three different mathematical models for minimization of total earliness and tardiness of customer orders are developed to provide on-time completion of customer orders and also, to avoid from inventory of final products. The first model is a non-linear integer programming model while the second is a linearized version of the first. Finally, to solve larger sized instances of the problem, an alternative linear integer model is presented.Findings: Computational study using a suit set of test instances showed that the alternative linear integer model is able to solve all test instances in varying sizes within quite shorter computer times comparing to the other two models. It was also showed that the alternative model can solve moderate sized real-world problems.Originality/value: The problem under study differentiates from existing batch scheduling problems in the literature since it includes new circumstances which may arise in real-world applications. This research, also, contributes the literature of batch scheduling problem by presenting new optimization models.
