This paper shows that fuzzy set theory can be useful in modeling and solving job scheduling problems with uncertain processing times. The processing times are considered as fuzzy numbers(fuzzy intervals or time intervals) and the fuzzy Delphi method is used to estimate a reliable time interval of each processing time. Based on these time estimates, we then propose an efficient methodology for calculating the optimal sequence and the fuzzy makespan.

This paper considers scheduling a set of n-jobs on m-paraller identical processors in which all jobs have the common due date. The objective of the problem is to minimize the weighted mean absolute deviation of job completion times about such common due dates under the assumption that each job has a different weight. and to determine the optimal value of a common due date. We propose four heuristic solution methods based on several dominance conditions, and its solution procedure is illustrated with numerical examples. The Performance comparison is made among four heuristic scheduling procedures.

This research considers the problem of scheduling jobs on parallel machines with non-common due dates and additional resource constraints. The objective is to minimize the total absolute deviation of job completion times about the due dates. Job processing times are assumed to be the same. This problem is motivated by restrictions that occur in the handling and processing of jobs in certain phases of semiconductor manufacturing and other production systems. We examine two problems. For the first of these, the number of different types of additional: resources and resource requirements per job are arbitrary. The problem is formulated as a zero-one integer linear programming and the Lagrangian relaxation approach is used. For the second case, there exists one single type of additional resource and the resource requirements per job are zero or one. We show how to formulate the problem as an assignment problem.

The objective of this study is to develop a knowledge-based scheduler applying simulation and knowledge base. This study utilizes a machine induction to build knowledge base which enables knowledge acquisition without domain expert. In this study, the best job dispatching rule for each order is selected according to the specifications of the order information. And these results are built to the fact base and knowledge base using the attribute-oriented induction method and simulation. When a new order enters in the developed system, the scheduler retrieves the knowledge base in order to find a matching record. If there is a matching record, the scheduling will be carried out by using the job dispatching rule saved in the knowledge base. Otherwise the best rule will be added to the knowledge base as a new record after scheduling to all the rules. When all these above steps finished the system will furnish a learning function.

This paper considers a revenue maximization problem on a single processor. Each job is identified as its processing time, initial reward, reward decreasing rate, and preferred start time. If the processor starts a job at time zero, revenue of the job is its initial reward. However, the revenue decreases linearly with the reward decreasing rate according to its processing start time till its preferred start time and finally its revenue is zero if it is started the processing after the preferred time. Our objective is to find the optimal sequence which maximizes the total revenue. For the problem, we characterize the optimal solution properties and prove the NP-hardness. Based upon the characterization, we develop a branch-and-bound algorithm for the optimal sequence and suggest five heuristic algorithms for efficient solutions. The numerical tests show that the characterized properties are useful for effective and efficient algorithms.

This paper evaluates forty different dispatching rules with respect to twenty different performance measures of job shop scheduling under seven levels of workload imbalance. Computer simulation is used as a tool to determine rankings of the dispatching rules for a given workload imbalance. The experiments results show rankings of dispatching rules are different in the job shop with unbalanced machine workloads. As variations of workload imbalance increase from 7% to 78%, the performance of dispatching rules is gradually deteriorated in measure related to completion time and due date. These results guide scheduling practitioners not only to choosing dispatching rules but also to developing the model of facility investment for workload balance, when there are different levels of workload imbalance.

이 연구의 모형은, 자원(기계, 인력), 주문(작업)의 의미를 확정한 "일반화된 job-shop"이다. 이 모형의 제약조건을 파악한 후, 불확정 제약조건의 표현과 추론방법을 연구하였으며, 이를 위하여 일정계획 수립 기능들을 모듈화하였다. 불확정제약조건에 따라 모듈들을 선택적으로 사용하기 위한 추론 과정은, 먼저, 납기만족이 우선이며 제약만족(CSP) 일정계획 모듈을 사용하고 그렇지 않으면 디스패칭 모듈을 사용한다. 그리하여, 납기, 작업시간의 불확정성과 자원의 변동, 새 주문의 추가, 일정계획 목표의 변경등을 반영하는 일정계획 수립방법을 제시하였다. 이 논문은 제약만족 일정계획과 디스패칭 일정계획을 하나의 틀에서 함께 사용함으로써, 일정계획 목표의 변경이나 제조환경이 변화에 대처할 수 있음을 보인다.수 있음을 보인다.

분산 Job Scheduling 문제에서 Makespan 은 항상 타 성능지표를 대표하는 단일 목표치 (Objective)가 되기 어려운 측면이 있다. 그러나 기존의 Job Scheduler 관련 제안들은 Makespan 만을 단일 목표치로 최적화 시킴으로써, 성능적 우수성을 입증하는 한계점이 있었다. 그러므로 본고에서는 Makespan 및 Throughput 을 동시에 최소화하여 개별 가중치로 정량화될 수 있는 다양한 성능 요구사항에 적합한 복수 대안 (Scheduling Alternatives)들을 제공할 수 있는 GA 기반 스케줄링 기법에 대해 제안한다.

This research addresses flow time prediction in the dynamic unbalanced job shop scheduling environment. The specific purpose of the research is to develop the job flow time prediction model in the dynamic unbalance djob shop. Such factors as job characteristics, job shop status, characteristics of the shop workload, shop dispatching rules, shop structure, etc, are considered in the prediction model. The regression prediction approach is analyzed within a dynamic, make-to-order job shop simulation model. Mean Absolute Lateness (MAL) and Mean Relative Error (MRE) are used to compare and evaluate alternative regression models devloped in this research.
