A minimax linear programming model for dispatching rule selection

Computers and Industrial Engineering, 2018
Abstract Dispatching rule selection is an important problem in production scheduling. This paper introduces a minimax linear programming (LP) model for dispatching rule selection in the presence of multiple criteria. The multi-criteria dispatching rule selection problem is first converted into a preference voting system, and a minimax LP model is ...

Vehicle On-line Dispatching Rules in Practice

2005
Vehicle-Based internal transport systems are widely used in many industrial facilities such as warehouses, distribution centers and production facilities. In most vehiclebased internal transport systems, on-line dispatching rules are used to control vehicle movements.

Setup-oriented dispatching rules – a survey

International Journal of Production Research, 2011
This paper provides a survey of dispatching rules that explicitly take into account setup times in their decision making. Rules are classified into the categories of purely setup-oriented, composite and family-based rules, and the most promising rules from the three categories are identified from the literature.

A dispatching rule for photolithography scheduling with an on-line rework strategy

Computers and Industrial Engineering, 2006
Generally speaking, wafer fabrication factories define the photolithography area as the dispatching center of the entire factory. To establish a set of operative dispatching rules in the photolithography area while taking into consideration the rework of defective products would assist in coordinating and balancing the workload of the entire production

Payment Rules for Unit Commitment Dispatch

The Electricity Journal, 2013
In the current design of U.S. electricity spot markets, the generation dispatch mechanism and the payment rule are incompatible with each other. The uniform-price auction format predicated on two-sided market design with marginal pricing is flawed, since the supply and the demand are not treated equitably and discrete decisions, such as unit commitment,

A combined OWA–DEA method for dispatching rule selection

Computers and Industrial Engineering, 2015
Display Omitted Shows that a standard DEA model cannot be used directly for dispatching rules selection.Proposes a combined OWA-DEA method to assess the dispatching rules.Performs a computational analysis based on randomly generated test problems.Illustrates that the proposed OWA-DEA approach can successfully identify efficient dispatching rules ...

Piloting of AGV systems with dispatching rules

1996 IEEE International Conference on Systems, Man and Cybernetics. Information Intelligence and Systems (Cat. No.96CH35929), 2002
Automated guided vehicles (AGVs) are a highly sophisticated and increasingly popular type of material handling device in flexible manufacturing systems (FMS). The research is based on the result of a previous study presented in Albert and Castagna (1996). There, the study consists of the description of a conflict management method.

Priority dispatching rules in an assembly shop

Omega, 1987
Abstract This paper reports the results of a job shop computer simulation study in which jobs were made up of several parts, and where operations on the different parts can be going on at the same time in different machining centres. Priority rules are evaluated in terms of average job flow time, and have been chosen mainly for their ability to ...

Automatic design of dispatching rules for static scheduling conditions

Neural Computing and Applications, 2020
Dispatching rules (DRs) represent heuristic methods designed for solving various scheduling problems. Since it is hard to manually design new DRs, genetic programming is used to design them automatically. Most DRs are designed in a way that they can be applied under dynamic conditions. On the other hand, static problems are usually solved using various
