Sustainability has become of great interest in many fields, especially in production systems due to the continual increase in the scarcity of raw materials and environmental awareness. Recent literature has given significant attention to considering the three sustainability pillars (i.e., environmental, economic, and social sustainability) in solving production planning problems. Therefore, the present study conducts a review of the literature on sustainable production planning to analyze the relationships among different production planning problems (e.g., scheduling, lot sizing, aggregate planning, etc.) and the three sustainability pillars. In addition, we analyze the identified studies based on the indicators that define each pillar. The results show that the literature most frequently addresses production scheduling problems while it lacks studies on aggregate production planning problems that consider the sustainability pillars. In addition, there is a growing trend towards obtaining integrated solutions of different planning problems, e.g., combining production planning problems with maintenance planning or energy planning. Additionally, around 45% of the identified studies considered the integration of the economic and the environmental pillars in different production planning problems. In addition, energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions are the most frequent sustainability indicators considered in the literature, while less attention has been given to social indicators. Another issue is the low number of studies that have considered all three sustainability pillars simultaneously. The finidings highlight the need for more future research towards holistic sustainable production planning approaches.

Abstract Recently, many manufacturing enterprises pay closer attention to energy efficiency due to increasing energy cost and environmental awareness. Energy-efficient scheduling of production systems is an effective way to improve energy efficiency and to reduce energy cost. During the past 10 years, a large amount of literature has been published about energy-efficient scheduling, in which more than 50% employed swarm intelligence and evolutionary algorithms to solve the complex scheduling problems. This paper aims to provide a comprehensive literature review of production scheduling for intelligent manufacturing systems with the energy-related constraints and objectives. The main goals are to summarize, analyze, discuss, and synthesize the existing achievements, current research status, and ongoing studies, and to give useful insight into future research, especially intelligent strategies for solving the energy-efficient scheduling problems. The scope of this review is focused on the journal publications of the Web of Science database. The energy efficiency-related publications are classified and analyzed according to five criteria. Then, the research trends of energy efficiency are discussed. Finally, some directions are pointed out for future studies.

This paper presents a dual-objective optimization model for production scheduling of bioethanol plant with carbon-efficient strategies. The model is developed throughout the bioethanol production process. Firstly, the production planning and scheduling of the bioethanol plant’s transportation, storage, pretreatment, and ethanol manufacturing are fully considered. Secondly, the carbon emissions in the ethanol manufacturing process are integrated into the model to form a dual-objective optimization model that simultaneously optimizes the production plan and carbon emissions. The effects of different biomass raw materials with optional pelletization density and pretreatment methods on production scheduling are analyzed. The influence of demand and pretreatment cost on selecting a pretreatment method and total profit is considered. A membership weighted method is developed to solve the dual-objective model. The carbon emission model and economic model are integrated into one model for analysis. An example is given to verify the effectiveness of the optimization model. At the end of the paper, the limitation of this study is discussed to provide directions for future research.

Abstract Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) ranges from design concepts of products to disposal. In this paper, we focus on the production planning phase in PLM, which is related to process planning and production scheduling and so on. In this study, key decisions for the creation of production plans are defined as production-planning attributes. Production-planning attributes correlate complexly in production-planning problems. Traditionally, the production-planning problem splits sub-problems based on experiences, because of the complexity. In addition, the orders in which to solve each sub-problem are determined by priorities between sub-problems. However, such approaches make solution space over-restricted and make it difficult to find a better solution. We have proposed a representation of combinations of alternatives in production-planning attributes by using Zero-Suppressed Binary Decision Diagrams. The ZDD represents only feasible combinations of alternatives that satisfy constraints in the production planning. Moreover, we have developed a solution search method that solves production-planning problems with ZDDs. In this paper, we propose an approach for managing solution candidates by ZDDs' network for addressing larger production-planning problems. The network can be created by linkages of ZDDs that express constraints in individual sub-problems and between sub-problems. The benefit of this approach is that it represents solution space, satisfying whole constraints in the production planning. This case study shows that the validity of the proposed approach.

Production scheduling optimization is a very important part of a production process. There are production systems with one service object and systems with multiple service objects. When using several service objects, there are systems with service objects arranged in a parallel or in a serial manner. We also distinguish between systems such as flow shop, job shop, open shop and mixed shop. Throughout the history of production planning, a number of algorithms and rules have been developed to calculate optimal production plans. These algorithms and rules differ from each other in the possibilities and conditions of their application. Since there are too many possible algorithms and rules it is not easy to select the proper algorithm or rule for solving a specific scheduling problem. In this article we analyzed the usability of 33 different algorithms and rules in total. Each algorithm or rule is suitable for a specific type of problem. The result of our analysis is a set of comparison tables that can serve as a basis for making the right decision in the production process decision-making process in order to select the proper algorithm or rule for solving a specific problem. We believe that these tables can be used for a quick and easy selection of the proper algorithm or rule for solving some of the typical production scheduling problems.

We study the uncapacitated lot-sizing problem with uncertain demand and costs. The problem is modeled as a multistage stochastic mixed-integer linear program in which the evolution of the uncertain parameters is represented by a scenario tree. To solve this problem, we propose a new extension of the stochastic dual dynamic integer programming algorithm (SDDiP). This extension aims at being more computationally efficient in the management of the expected cost-to-go functions involved in the model, in particular by reducing their number and by exploiting the current knowledge on the polyhedral structure of the stochastic uncapacitated lot-sizing problem. The algorithm is based on a partial decomposition of the problem into a set of stochastic subproblems, each one involving a subset of nodes forming a subtree of the initial scenario tree. We then introduce a cutting plane–generation procedure that iteratively strengthens the linear relaxation of these subproblems and enables the generation of an additional strengthened Benders’ cut, which improves the convergence of the method. We carry out extensive computational experiments on randomly generated large-size instances. Our numerical results show that the proposed algorithm significantly outperforms the SDDiP algorithm at providing good-quality solutions within the computation time limit. Summary of Contribution: This paper investigates a combinatorial optimization problem called the uncapacitated lot-sizing problem. This problem has been widely studied in the operations research literature as it appears as a core subproblem in many industrial production planning problems. We consider a stochastic extension in which the input parameters are subject to uncertainty and model the resulting stochastic optimization problem as a multistage stochastic integer program. To solve this stochastic problem, we propose a novel extension of the recently published stochastic dual dynamic integer programming (SDDiP) algorithm. The proposed extension relies on two main ideas: the use of a partial decomposition of the scenario tree and the exploitation of existing knowledge on the polyhedral structure of the stochastic uncapacitated lot-sizing problem. We provide the results of extensive computational experiments carried out on large-size randomly generated instances. These results show that the proposed extended algorithm significantly outperforms the SDDiP at providing good-quality solutions for the stochastic uncapacitated lot-sizing problem. Although the paper focuses on a basic lot-sizing problem, the proposed algorithmic framework may be useful to solve more complex practical production planning problems.
