Production Scheduling in Food Processing Plants

Transactions of the ASAE, 1985
IN 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 ...

Scheduling and Logistics Optimization for Batch Manufacturing Processes With Temperature Constraints and Alternative Thermal Devices

IEEE Transactions on Industrial Informatics
Batch scheduling problems are NP-hard and often coupled with logistics optimization problems in industrial manufacturing scenarios, further increasing the challenge of decision-making. This work focuses on a stainless steel hot-rolling production process,

A Scheduling Process Applied to Newspaper Production

2006 International Conference on Service Systems and Service Management, 2006
This 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, 1996
Abstract 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 ...

Scheduling approach for concurrent product development processes

Computers in Industry, 2001
Abstract 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 ...

A Hybrid MIP–CP Approach to Multistage Scheduling Problem in Continuous Casting and Hot-Rolling Processes

IEEE Transactions on Automation Science and Engineering, 2019
This paper studies a new scheduling problem in a steel plant, referring to continuous casting (CC), reheating furnace, and hot rolling (HR) processes, which is meaningful and important to the production efficiency and energy saving. First, the problem is

A robust optimization approach for integrated steel production and batch delivery scheduling with uncertain rolling times and deterioration effect

International Journal of Production Research, 2019
Efficient collaboration between various sub-processes of steel production is of considerable significance, which directly affects a product’s production cycle and energy consumption. However, current collaborative optimisation models and methods in steel

Scheduling a Single-Product Reentrant Process with Uniform Processing Times

Industrial & Engineering Chemistry Research, 2000
Most semiconductor manufacturing involves multiple stages of batch/semicontinuous physicochemical operations. Scheduling of such plants becomes complex because of a high degree of reentrancy in their process flows, as different lots/batches as well as different tasks of the same lot compete for time on the various processing units at each stage ...
