Stochastic Production Planning with Production Constraints

Bensoussan, Alain - 2019

This paper considers an infinite horizon stochastic production planning problem with the constraint that production rate must be nonnegative. It is shown that an optimal feedback solution exists for the problem. Moreover, this solution is characterized and is then compared with the solution of...

A Note on "Level Schedules for Mixed-Model Assembly Lines in Just-in-Time Production Systems"

Kubiak, Wieslaw - 2017

This note formulates an assignment problem for obtaining optimal level schedules for mixed-model assembly lines in JIT production systems. The problem was formulated as a quadratic integer programming problem in a recent paper by Miltenburg (1989) where, however, only enumerative algorithms and...

Heuristic Procedures for Minimizing Makespan and the Number of Required Pallets

Chu, Chengbin - 2017

A heuristic procedure is developed for minimizing makespan in flow-shop scheduling problems. In comparison with current algorithms, our algorithm seems to result in an improved makespan with a small additional computational effort. An algorithm is also developed to minimize the required number...

Earliness-Tardiness Scheduling Problems, II : Deviation of Completion Times About a Restrictive Common Due Date

Hall, Nicholas G. - 2017

A companion paper (Part I) considers the problem of minimizing the weighted earliness and tardiness of jobs scheduled on a single machine around a common due date, d, which is unrestrictively late. This paper (Part II) considers the problem of minimizing the unweighted earliness and tardiness of...
