Flow Shop Scheduling with Resource Flexibility
Operations Research, 1994This paper explores the improvements in manufacturing efficiency that can be achieved by broadening the scope of production scheduling to include both the sequencing of work and the coordination of the resource inputs required to perform work. Recognizing that some resources are inherently flexible and thus can be reassigned dynamically to processing ...

Scheduling flexible flow shops with no setup effects
IEEE Transactions on Robotics and Automation, 1994This paper presents an efficient, optimization model-based approach for scheduling the production of discrete-part, make-to-order type of flexible flow shops, where setup effects are negligible. A nominal scheduling algorithm based on Lagrangian relaxation and minimum cost linear network flow is first developed for scheduling under nominal conditions ...

Online Scheduling of Flexible Flow Shop Manufacturing
2009 International Joint Conference on Computational Sciences and Optimization, 2009The flexible flow shop refers to such a manufacturing environment in which jobs are to be processed through serial stages, with one or multiple machines available at each stage. It is usually a complex task when specific objective is demanded such as minimum cost, minimum time, etc.

Flow Shop Scheduling with Partial Resource Flexibility
Management Science, 2004Resource flexibility refers to the ability to dynamically reallocate units of resource from one stage of a production process to another in response to shifting bottlenecks. Recent research has demonstrated that substantial improvements in operational performance can be realized in both serial- and parallel-machine production environments through the ...

Group scheduling in flexible flow shops
International Journal of Production Economics, 2005Abstract Flexible flow shops are becoming increasingly common in industry practice due to higher workloads imposed by jobs. As a result, one or more stages in a flexible flow shop will have two or more units of the same machine type. The group scheduling problem, comprised of two levels of scheduling, is investigated in this paper to minimize the ...

Scheduling optimization of flexible flow shop
2018 IEEE 4th Information Technology and Mechatronics Engineering Conference (ITOEC), 2018According to the production characteristics of flexible job shop scheduling in practice, the initial solution is generated by random Numbers, Gantt chart is drawn, and the maximum process time is calculated. Then, a simplified algorithm is proposed with reference to Johnson's algorithm.

Flexible Flow Shop Scheduling by Intelligent Multi-agents
2010 Eighth ACIS International Conference on Software Engineering Research, Management and Applications, 2010This paper presents some important improvements to a previously proposed intelligent production system dealing with a dynamic flexible flow shop scheduling problem under a multi-stage multi-machine factory environment. These improvements greatly help upgrade the overall system performance under stable demand situations as well as under fluctuated ...
