Variable priority dispatching rules: An analytical approach

International Journal of Production Economics, 1995
Abstract Scheduling techniques and dispatching rules are widely studied because of their strategic role in achieving optimal management of manufacturing systems. In the case of flexible and CIM-orientated plants, it is essential to evaluate the effects of different dispatching rules to foresee the system performance.

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,

Setup-oriented dispatching rules – a survey

International Journal of Production Research, 2012
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.

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.

Improving dispatch rules for cascading tools

2007 IEEE International Conference on Automation Science and Engineering, 2007
Line balance and tool throughput are two important, yet conflicting goals. Especially for cascading tools supporting multiple layers in the line, there has to be a trade off between these two optimization criteria. Short cascades are optimal for line balancing, but this strategy leads to lower tool throughput. The size of the negative throughput impact

Hyper-heuristic Evolution of Dispatching Rules: A Comparison of Rule Representations

Evolutionary Computation, 2015
Dispatching rules are frequently used for real-time, online scheduling in complex manufacturing systems. Design of such rules is usually done by experts in a time consuming trial-and-error process. Recently, evolutionary algorithms have been proposed to automate the design process.

Dispatching rule exchangeable optimization planning system

Proceedings of IEEE 2nd International Workshop on Emerging Technologies and Factory Automation (ETFA '93), 2002
A new method for selection of dispatching rules, called a status selection method is discussed. In this method, the most promising status is selected from tentative statuses that are generated by applying all dispatching rules. Since the dispatching rules and the knowledge of status selection are independent, it is easy to exchange the dispatching ...

A Dispatching Rule for Efficient Workflow

Concurrent Engineering, 2004
A workflow management system is a software system to support accurate execution, control and management of business processes. It has been known that the system executes complex processes automatically and manages them effectively to improve the productivities.
