Rescheduling of unrelated parallel machines under machine breakdowns
Arnaout, Jean-Paul; Rabadi, Ghaith - In: International Journal of Applied Management Science 1 (2008) 1, pp. 75-89
In this paper, new repair and rescheduling algorithms are developed for the unrelated parallel machine environment. The … decision maker to easily determine the most appropriate repair/rescheduling rule depending on the performance measure … performance measures to ensure the optimisation of both the schedule quality and stability. Schedule quality is assessed based on …

Robust scheduling for multi-objective flexible job-shop problems with random machine breakdowns
Xiong, Jian; Xing, Li-ning; Chen, Ying-wu - In: International Journal of Production Economics 141 (2013) 1, pp. 112-126
This study addresses robust scheduling for a flexible job-shop scheduling problem with random machine breakdowns. Two objectives – makespan and robustness – are simultaneously considered. Robustness is indicated by the expected value of the relative difference between the deterministic and...

Machine capacity allocation strategies for scheduling a large multi-chip assembly line
Lee, Sang-Jin; Lee, Tae-Eog - In: European Journal of Industrial Engineering 5 (2011) 3, pp. 327-337
A multi-chip package (MCP) consists of several chip modules in a single package. We consider a scheduling problem for assembling MCPs. In order to assemble an MCP, a lot should repeat assembly process stages such as die attach and wire bonding as many as the number of chips to be assembled. The...

Production Lot Sizing with Machine Breakdowns
Groenevelt, Harry; Pintelon, Liliane; Seidmann, Abraham - In: Management Science 38 (1992) 1, pp. 104-123
Economic lot sizing and batching models often assume reliable manufacturing facilities. In this research, we focus on the effects of machine breakdowns and corrective maintenance on the economic lot sizing decisions. Two production control policies are proposed for coping with these stochastic...

Hybrid Meta-Heuristics for Robust Scheduling
Kaymak, Uzay; Dekker, Rommert; Surico, Surico, M.; … - Erasmus Research Institute of Management (ERIM), … - 2006
The production and delivery of rapidly perishable goods in distributed supply networks involves a number of tightly coupled decision and optimization problems regarding the just-in-time production scheduling and the routing of the delivery vehicles in order to satisfy strict customer specified...

Robust optimization for the cyclic hoist scheduling problem
Che, Ada; Feng, Jianguang; Chen, Haoxun; Chu, Chengbin - In: European Journal of Operational Research 240 (2015) 3, pp. 627-636
This paper deals with the robust optimization for the cyclic hoist scheduling problem with processing time window constraints. The robustness of a cyclic hoist schedule is defined as its ability to remain stable in the presence of perturbations or variations of certain degree in the hoist...

Proactive Scheduling for Steelmaking-Continuous Casting Plant with Uncertain Machine Breakdown Using Distribution-Based Robustness and Decomposed Artificial Neural Network
Worapradya, Kiatkajohn; Thanakijkasem, Purit - In: Asia-Pacific Journal of Operational Research (APJOR) 32 (2015) 02, pp. 1550010-1
An unpredictable breakdown often occurs and tends to complicate production scheduling in a steelmaking-continuous casting (SCC) plant. Because of particular characteristics and technology constraints of the SCC plant, traditional robust scheduling often provides an excessively conservative...

An unrelated parallel machines model for an industrial production resetting problem
Pessan, Cedric; Bouquard, Jean-Louis; Neron, Emmanuel - In: European Journal of Industrial Engineering 2 (2008) 2, pp. 153-171
Efficient production resettings are necessary to achieve production flexibility. For this reason, most modern companies are trying to reduce the setup time required to switch the production from one product type to another. One way to minimise these times is to schedule correctly the various...
