Scheduling approach for concurrent product development processes
Computers in Industry, 2001Abstract A heuristic scheduling approach is proposed for the concurrent product development processes, in which some crucial parameters are determined using the genetic algorithm (GA). Scheduling concurrent activities is of great significance to shorten development lead-time and minimize costs, since it can eliminate unnecessary redesign periods and ...

Optimal inter-process steel production scheduling
Computers & Operations Research, 1988Abstract Optimal scheduling of production through the hot strip mill of a steel manufacturing facility is characterized by multiple and conflicting objectives. A production strategy designed to achieve maximum product quality may be expensive and cumbersome in terms of overall throughput while a strategy that achieves high volume production may ...

Production transportation scheduling for process industry
2010 Second International Conference on Computational Intelligence and Natural Computing, 2010Production transportation scheduling problem with constraints is common in process industry. But it is a NP-hard problem. In this paper, the production transportation scheduling problem between a plant that produces intermediate products and a finishing plant which processes the intermediate products in finished goods is studied.

A Scheduling Process Applied to Newspaper Production
2006 International Conference on Service Systems and Service Management, 2006This paper proposes a support system which helps in deciding the allocation of resources for newspaper production. The system is structured starting from a covering model with the objective of determining the best sequencing of n tasks in m machines, obeying the schedule of delivery of the tasks.

Scheduling system for multi-process production
Computers & Industrial Engineering, 1996Abstract This is a study of a scheduling method, and its application in a multi-process production department, by which is meant one having numerous process, each with its own unique process sequence. Typically, production sites have many product items that need to go through a series of process sequences in different machines in order to be ...

Production scheduling for the reconfigurable modular pharmaceutical manufacturing processes
Computers & Chemical Engineering, 2021Abstract The novel reconfigurable modular production system is expected to be the next breakthrough in pharmaceutical manufacturing. In these systems, the target product can be manipulated by changing the modules active on a certain production line, but optimal scheduling is a challenging problem because the on-demand operation of the modular system ...

Production Scheduling in Food Processing Plants
Transactions of the ASAE, 1985IN multi-product processing plants, when product demand exceeds the production capacity, the production planning and scheduling function becomes very important anc exceedingly difficult. The impact of poor scheduling can be significant in any plant. Therefore plant managers are forced to use modern (computer-aided) production scheduling techniques to ...

Intelligent Scheduling for a Rolling Process in Steel Production Systems
2020 IEEE International Conference on Networking, Sensing and Control (ICNSC), 2020A wire rod and bar rolling process is important in steel production systems. Its scheduling problem involves the constraints on sequence-dependent family setup time and release time. This work intends to schedule the batches with multiple jobs to minimize the number of late jobs.

Production scheduling in preemptive and simultaneous processing
Computers in Industry, 1992Abstract The paper explores production scheduling problems in which jobs with deadlines are processed preemptively and/or simultaneously on identical machines. Based on the concepts of reservations and surpluses, it is checked whether a given set of n jobs is feasible.
