이적작업은 자동화 컨테이너 터미널에서 하역작업의 생산성을 높이는 중요한 운영 전략 중의 하나이다. 이는 장치장 크레인의 이동시간과 재작업을 줄이기 위해 장치장 블록 내 컨테이너들의 재배치하는 작업을 의미한다. 이적작업은 주로 크레인의 유휴시간에 수행되며 장치장 크레인의 추가적인 하역 작업을 요구한다. 이적작업계획이 수립된 후 작업할당 문제가 다루어진다. 크레인 작업할당 문제는 작업가능시간에 대한 제약을 고려하여 이적작업의 효과를 최대화시키기 위해 장치장 크레인이 처리할 이적작업을 선정하고 이들의 작업순서를 정하는 것이다. 본 연구는 혼합정수계획법을 이용하여 장치장 크레인의 작업할당 문제를 모형화 하고 실효적인 이용을 위해 수치실험을 통해 여러 작업할당 규칙의 수행도를 비교분석하였다.

Recently, container terminal operators have made efforts to develop an efficient remarshalling plan in response to the increase in automation of equipment handling and transport of containers in the terminals. Usually, containers are handled by multiple AYCs(automated yard cranes) in-yard in an automated container terminal, and terminal operators establish a remarshalling plan using slack time to increase the efficiency of ship operation. This study develops the optimal mathematical model through mixed integer programming as a solution to the problem of dispatching multiple AYCs. Considering the difficulty of direct application to the field due to computation time, we analyze the five prototypical dispatching rules for real world adaptation. A numerical experiment found that the maximum weight ratio (MR) rule and the maximum weight (MW) rule are the ideal dispatching solutions to the multiple AYCs dispatching problem.

총납기지연 최소화 문제에서 많은 할당규칙들이 개발되어져 왔는데, 대부분의 개발 배경이 모든 Job이 동일한 시작시간을 갖는 Single Machine을 대상으로 하였기 때문에 이 할당규칙들을 Job의 시작시간이 다르게 주어지는 문제에 그대로 적용했을 때는 만족할만한 결과를 얻기가 쉽지 않다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 다른 시작시간을 갖는 Single Machine문제에서 총납기지연을 최소화하기 위하여 먼저, 새로운 작업쌍 순서(Job Pair Sequencing) 할당규칙을 제시한다. 제시되는 할당규칙은 Job들간의 Sequence를 쌍으로 비교하여 총납기지연 측면에서 선행이 바람직한 Job을 선택한다. 그리고 제시된 할당규칙에 대하여 다수개의 Job에 적용 시 선택된 Job들간에 Transitivity 가 성립됨을 증명함으로서 총납기지연을 최소화 시린 수 잇.음을 증명하였다.

A remarshalling is studied as an important operational strategy in an automated container terminal to enhance the productivity of container handling. This means the rearrangements of the containers scattered at a vertical yard block. The dispatching problem for remarshalling is selecting the remarshalling operation considering the available operation time and deciding the operation sequencing to maximize the effectiveness of remarshalling. This study develops the optimal mathematical model for yard crane dispatching problem with mixed integer program and explains dispatching problem using an example. However it is difficult to apply this model to a field problem because of its computational time. Therefore, we compare the representative 5 dispatching rules for real world adaption. In a numerical experiment, maximum weight ratio(MR) rule shows an overall outstanding performance.

As flexible manufacturing systems (FMSs) are highly automated and required flexibility to satisfy market need, dispatching rules are constrained by specific environments of manufacturing systems such as mechanical failures, absence of employees, and lack of spare parts. In this paper, an ontology-based knowledge approach is proposed to improve efficiency of system through adapting suitable dispatching rules, considering context in a FMS shop floor, which consists multiple manufacturing cells. the multi-agents monitor manufacturing system status and job so that it figures out a dispatching rule considering context. To demonstrate the proposed approach, a proof-of-concept prototype system has been implemented in the $JADE^{TM}$ platform and Protege to make OWL DL ontology.

Forklifts in a shipyard lift and transport heavy objects. Tasks occur dynamically and the rate of the task occurrence changes over time. Especially, the rate of the task occurrence is high immediately after morning and afternoon business hours. The weight of objects varies according to task characteristic, and a forklift also has the workable or allowable weight limit. In this study, we propose an online forklift dispatching algorithm based on nearest-neighbor dispatching rule using minimal cost assignment approach in order to attain the efficient operations. The proposed algorithm considers various types of forklift and multiple jobs at the same time to determine the dispatch plan. We generate dummy forklifts and dummy tasks to handle unbalance in the numbers of forklifts and tasks by taking their capacity limits and weights. In addition, a method of systematic forklift selection is also devised considering the condition of the forklift. The performance indicator is the total travel distance and the average task waiting time. We validate our approach against the priority rule-based method of the previous study by discrete-event simulation.

본 논문은 Overhead Hoist Transport(OHT)를 운반 장비로 사용하는 반도체 생산 라인 자동물류시스템에서의 차량배차문제를 다룬다. 고려하는 반도체 라인은 18 개의 bay 와 6 개의 stoker 로 구성되며 160 대 이상의 OHT를 가진다. 자동물류시스템은 최소한의 OHT 대수로 하루 100,000 건의 웨이퍼를 이동시켜야 하며 반송시간과 편차를 최소화하여야 한다. 전통적인 차량배차규칙에서는 차량이 어떤 작업에 할당되면 그 관계가 변하지 않는 반면, 본 연구에서는 시스템 상황의 변화에 따라 차량을 작업에 재할당하는 방법을 제안한다. 시뮬레이션을 통해 제안된 방법을 shortest travel distance first 규칙과 비교한 결과, 필요한 OHT 대수, 반송시간과 반송시간의 편차 측면에서 획기적인 효용성 향상을 보였다.

In the manufacturing system, production-planning is very important in effective management for expensive production facilities and machineries. To enhance efficiency of Manufacturing Execution System(MES), a manufacturing system that reduces the difference between planning and execution, certain production-planning needs a dispatching rule that is properly designed for characteristic of work information and there should be a appropriate selection for the rule as well. Therefore, in this paper dispatching rule will be selected by several simulations based on characteristics of work information derived from process planning data. By constructing information that are from simulation into ontology, one of the knowledge-based-reasoning, production planning platform based on the selection of dispatching rule will be demonstrated. The platform has strength in its wider usage that is not limited to where it is applied. To demonstrate the platform, RacerPro and Prot$\acute{e}$g$\acute{e}$ are used in parts of ontology reasoning, and JAVA and FlexChart were applied for production-planning simulation.

In the shared-memory mutiprocessor systems, shared processing techniques such as time-sharing, space¬sharing, and gang-scheduling are used to improve the overall system utilization for the parallel operations. Recently, LLPC(Loop-Level Process Control) allocation technique was proposed. It dynamically adjusts the needed number of processors for the execution of the parallel code portions based on the current system load in the given job. This method allocates as many available processors as possible, and does not save any processors for the parallel sections of other later-arriving applications. To solve this problem, in this paper, we propose a new processor allocation technique called FPA(Fuzzy Processor Allocation) that dynamically adjusts the number of processors by fuzzifYing the amounts ofueeded number of processors, loads, and estimated execution times of job. The proposed method provides the maximum possibility of the parallism of each job without system overload. We compare the performances of our approaches with the conventional results. The experiments show that the proposed method provides a better performance.
