In order to attain high manufacturing productivity, industry 4.0 merges all the available system and environment data that can empower the enabled-intelligent techniques. The use of data provokes the manufacturing self-awareness, reconfiguring the traditional manufacturing challenges. The current piece of research renders attention to new consideration in the Job Shop Scheduling (JSSP) based problems as a case study. In that field, a great number of previous research papers provided optimization solutions for JSSP, relying on heuristics based algorithms. The current study investigates the main elements of such algorithms to provide a concise anatomy and a review on the previous research papers. Going through the study, a new optimization scope is introduced relying on additional available data of a machine, by which the Flexible Job-Shop Scheduling Problem (FJSP) is converted to a dynamic machine state assignation problem. Deploying two-stages, the study utilizes a combination of discrete Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) and a selection based algorithm followed by a modified local search algorithm to attain an optimized case solution. The selection based algorithm is imported to beat the ever-growing randomness combined with the increasing number of data-types.

Scheduling for job shop is very important in both fields of production management and combinatorial optimization. Since the problem is well known as NP-Hard class, many metaheuristic approaches are developed to solve the medium and large scale problems. One of the main elements of these metaheuristics is the solution seed structure. Solution seed represent the coding structure of real solution. In this paper, a new solution seed for job shop scheduling is presented. This solution seed is compared with a famous solution seed presented for the job shop scheduling. Since the problem is well known as NP-Hard class, a Tabu search algorithm is developed to solve large scale problems. The proposed solution seed are examined using an example and tabu search algorithm.

AbstractIn job-shop manufacturing systems, an efficient production schedule acts to reduce unnecessary costs and better manage resources. For the same purposes, modern manufacturing cells, in compliance with industry 4.0 concepts, use material handling systems in order to allow more control on the transport tasks. In this paper, a job-shop scheduling problem in vehicle based manufacturing facility that is mainly related to job assignment to resources is addressed. The considered job-shop production cell has two types of resources: processing resources that accomplish fabrication tasks for specific products, and transporting resources that assure parts’ transport to the processing area. A Variable Neighborhood Search algorithm is used to schedule product manufacturing and handling tasks in the aim to minimize the maximum completion time of a job set and an improved lower bound with new calculation method is presented. Experimental tests are conducted to evaluate the efficiency of the proposed approach.
