In this paper, I propose a hybrid genetic algorithm(HGAM) incorporating a greedy interchange local optimization procedure for the multiobjective vehicle scheduling problems with service due times where three conflicting objectives of the minimization of total vehicle travel time, total weighted tardiness, and fleet size are explicitly treated. The vehicle is allowed to visit a node exceeding its due time with a penalty, but within the latest allowable time. The HGAM applies a mixed farming and migration strategy in the evolution process. The strategy splits the population into sub-populations, all of them evolving independently, and applys a local optimization procedure periodically to some best entities in sub-populations which are then substituted by the newly improved solutions. A solution of the HCAM is represented by a diploid structure. The HGAM uses a molified PMX operator for crossover and new types of mutation operator. The performance of the HGAM is extensively evaluated using the Solomons test problems. The results show that the HGAM attains better solutions than the BC-saving algorithm, but with a much longer computation time.

This paper is concerned with multi-objective vehicle routing problem(VRP), in which objective of this problem is to minimize the total operating time of vehicles and the total tardiness of customers. A mixed integer programming formulation and a heuristic for practical use are suggested. The heuristic is based on the route-perturbation and route-improvement method(RPRI). Performances are compared with other heuristic appeared in the previous literature using the modified bench-mark data set. It is shown that the suggested heuristic give good solution within a short computation time by computational experiment.

Group scheduling, which is a kind of operations scheduling based on the GT concept is analyzed in a multi-stage manufacturing system. The purpose of this research is to develop and evaluate a heuristic algorithm for determining gro up sequence and job sequence within each group to minimize a complex cost function, i.e. the sum of the total pe-nalty cost for tardiness and the total holding cost for flow time, in a multi-stage manufacturing system with group setup time dependent upon group sequence. A heuristic algorithm for group sc heduling is developed, and a numerical example is illustrated. For the evaluation of the pro-posed heuristic algorithm, the heuristic solution of each of 63 problems is compared with that of random scheduling. The result shows that the proposed heuristic algorithm provides better solution in light of the proposed cost function.

This research is concerned with group scheduling problems in multi-stage manufacturing system with dependent setup time. The objective of the research is to develop and evaluate a heuristic algorithm for determining group sequence and job sequence within each group to minimize total tardiness in multi-stage manufacturing systems with sequence dependent group setup time. The group scheduling heuristic algorithm is developed and evaluated by comparisons with twenty-seven problems with the known optimum solutions and 144,000 random schedules of a large variety problems. The results indicate that the proposed heuristic algorithm gets the same optimum solutions for the problems and also provides the good solutions in comparison with the random schedules of the large variety problems. A numerical example is given to illustrate the heuristic algorithm.

The problem of minimizing total tardiness on a batch processing machine with incompatible job families when there are sequence independent setup times between families is studied where all jobs of the same family have identical processing times and jobs of different families cannot be processed together. A batch processing machine can process a number of jobs, within a maximal batch size, simultaneously as a batch. The processing time required of each batch is equal to the one of jobs. A dynamic programming algorithm which gives the optimal solution, and several heuristics are presented. Performance of simple dispatching rules based on due dates are compared, and the best of them is used as an initial solution for the decomposition algorithm, which is shown to give good schedules in relatively short computational time.

This paper proposes a heuristic scheduling algorithm to satisfy the customer's due date in the production process under make to order environment. The goal is to achieve the machine scheduling in the transformer winding process, in which consists of parallel machines with different machine performances. The winding is important production process in the transformer manufacturing company. The efficiency of the winding machines is different according to the voltage capacity and the winding type. This paper introduces a heuristic approach in the transformer winding process where the objective function is to minimize the total tardiness of jobs over due dates. The numerical experiment is illustrated to evaluate the performance.

Production scheduling has been one of the most critical issues in a manufacturing environment Job-shop scheduling problems(JSP) are well know from the standpoint of production planning and operations control in this research scheduling against due date is a measure of performance and the objective is minimizing total weighted tardiness This paper presents an idea of decomposition of the problem and shows robustmess of the schedule under various disturbances along with exact and approximation methods. The proposed method can indeed handle shop disturbances more effectively when compared with traditional and dynamic scheduling methods.

The efficient use of capital intensive FMS requires determination of effective dispatching priority with which the parts of the selected part types are to be inputed into the system. This paper presents a simulation-optimization approach to find an appropriate dispatching priority. The study is based on a detailed simulator for a module-type commercial FMS, Specifically, after presenting the basic configuration and fundamental control logic of the system together with its main characteristics as a special type of a job shop, an algorithm is presented which combines simulated annealing and simulation to explore a dispatching priority of operations that minimizes the total tardiness, Computational performance of the algorithm shows that good solutions can be obtained within a reasonable amount of computations. The paper also compares the performance of the "optimal" or near optimal dispatching priority generated by the proposed algorithm with those generated by standard dispatching rules such as SPT, EDD and SLACK.

We consider the stale problem which makes the training speed slow in the field of deep learning. The problem can be formulated as a single-machine scheduling problem with generalized due dates in which the objective is to minimize the total earliness and tardiness. We show that the problem can be solved in polynomial time if the orders of the small and the large jobs in an optimal schedule are known in advance.

This paper presents a dispatching algorithm for nonidentical parallel machines problem considering rework, sequence dependent setup times and release times. For each pair of a machine and a job type, rework probability of each job on a machine can be known through historical data acquisition. The heuristic scheduling scheme named by EDDR (Earliest Due Date with Rework probability) algorithm is proposed in this paper making use of the rework probability. The proposed dispatching algorithm is measured by two objective function value: 1) total tardiness and 2) the number of reworked jobs, respectively. The extensive computational results show that the proposed algorithm gives very efficient schedules superior to the existing dispatching algorithms.
