In this paper we consider an n-job non-preemptive and identical parallel machine scheduling problem of minimizing the sum of earliness and tardiness with different release times and due dates. In the real world this problem is more realistic than the problems that release times equal to zero or due dates are common. The problem is proved to be NP-complete. Thus a heuristic is developed to solve this problem To illustrate its suitability a proposed heuristic is compared with a genetic algorithm for a large number of randomly generated test problems. Computational results show the effectiveness and efficiency of proposed heuristic. In summary the proposed heuristic provides good solutions than genetic algorithm when the problem size is large.

동적 공급사슬망은 복잡하고 다양한 이해관계를 가진 기업들로 구성되어 있다. 다수의 구매자로부터 주문 의뢰가 동시다발적으로 발생하므로 하위 구성원들은 경쟁적 관계에 놓이게 된다. 그러므로 최적의 공급사슬구성을 위해서는 수평적 경쟁 관계를 고려하여 구성주체들간의 협력관계를 통해 이를 해결하여야 한다. 지금까지의 스케줄링 문제에서는 상위의 구성원이 하위 구성원들을 일방적으로 선택하는 의사결정이 이루어졌으나 본 문제에서는 구성원간의 협력관계에서 에이전트를 통한 다자간 협상을 통해 공급사슬 전체의 최적화를 구성하는 방법론을 제시한다. 본 협상방법론은 단일기계에서 상이한 납기일, 조기생산(earliness), 지연생산(tardiness)을 동시에 고려하였으며 전체 공급사슬의 평균절대편차(Mean Absolute Deviation)의 최소화를 목적으로 하고 있다. 본 협상방법론의 효과성을 증명하기 위해 분지한계법(Branch & Bound)과 비교하고, 알고리즘 구현을 통해 구매자 협상방법론의 최적화 여부를 실험을 통해 증명하였다.

In this article, a simulation model of a microwave oven assembly line is developed to identify system parameters to improve the system performances such as work-in-process inventories, production lead time, mean earliness, mean tardiness and in-time completion rate. System parameters investigated include dispatching rules, lot sizing, setup time reduction, demand increase, productivity improvement, production scheduling, hardware characteristics, etc. The model has been developed using SIMAN simulation language which has been demonstrated to be a powerful tool to simulate complex manufacturing systems. We have suggested the results obtained to improve the system performances of an existing production line.

In this paper, we present a modeling approach to production planning for an actual production line and a heuristic method. We also illustrate the successful implementation of the proposed method on the production line. A heuristic algorithm called the push-back algorithm was designed for a single machine earliness/tardiness production planning with distinct due date. It was developed by combining a minimum slack time rule and shortest processing time rule with a push-back procedure. The results of a numerical experiment on the heuristic's performance are presented in comparison with the results of IBM ILOG CPLEX. The proposed algorithm was applied to an actual case of production planning at Woongjin Chemical, a leading manufacturer of filter products in South Korea. The seven-month execution of our algorithm led to a 24.5% decrease in the company's inventory level, thus demonstrating its practicality and effectiveness.

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.

JIT 생산시스템이 세계적으로 많은 회사에 적용됨에 따라 earliness와 tardiness의 페널티를 동시에 최소화하는 문제에 대한 많은 연구가 진행되어 왔다. 이 연구에서는 한정된 완료시간의 편차에 대해서는 페널티를 부과하지 않는, 즉 허용오차가 존재할 때, 공통의 납기로부터 평균제곱편차(MSD : Mean Squared Deviation)를 최소화하는 단일기계 문제를 다룬다. 허용오차가 존재하는 MSD 문제에서 최적의 공통 납기를 결정하는 방법을 개발한다. 스케줄과 허용 오차가 주어질 때, 최적의 납기를 찾는 두 개의 선형시간이 소요되는 알고리즘을 제시한다. 주어진 허용오차 중 하나는 가장 짧은 가공시간을 가지는 작업의 절반보다 작은 경우이며 다른 하나는 허용오차가 임의인 경우이다.

In this paper, we propose a practical method for setting up a daily production plan which can operate semiconductor fabrication factories more stably and linearly by determining work in process (WIP) targets and movement targets. We first adjust cycle times of the operations to satisfy the monthly production plan. Second, work in process (WIP) targets are determined to control the production progress of operations: earliness and tardiness. Third, movement targets are determined to reduce cumulated differences between WIP targets and actual WIPs. Finally, the determined movement targets are modified through a simulation model which considers capacities of the equipments and allocations of the WIPs in the fab. The proposed daily production planning method can be easily adapted to the memory semiconductor fabs because the method is very simple and has straightforward logics. Although the proposed method is simple and straightforward, the power of the method is very strong. Results from the shop floor in past few periods showed that the proposed methodology gives a good performance with respect to the productivity, workload balance, and machine utilization. We can expect that the proposed daily production planning method will be used as a useful tool for operating semiconductor fabrication factories more efficiently and effectively.

The system under study is a single item, multi-echelon distribution system with a capacitated production facility. All the nodes at the downstream ends are demand-sites, i.e., ordered items are delivered to the customers from the node. Also any transshipment depots in the midstream can be demand-sites as well. For a given planning period, at each of demand-site, demand is forecasted and known. Our objective is to minimize the average system cost per period which is the sum of holding and backorder costs in the entire network. Due to the capacity restrictions, it is difficult to establish efficient distribution planning. To overcome such a difficulty and obtain a reasonable and better solution, we convert this problem into a single machine earliness and weighted tardiness scheduling. We propose a simple but cost-effective heuristic for this problem. The experimental results showed that the proposed heuristic obtained much better solutions compared with another approach.

Nowadays, the distribution centres aim to reduce costs by reducing inventory and timely shipment. Cross docking is a logistics strategy in which products delivered to a distribution centre by inbound trucks are directly unloaded and transferred to outbound trucks with minimum warehouse storage. Moreover, on-time delivery in a distribution network becomes very crucial especially when several distribution centres and customers are involved. Therefore, an efficient truck scheduling is needed to synchronize the delivery throughout the network in order to satisfy all stake-holders. This paper presents a mathematical model of a mixed integer programming for door assignment and truck scheduling in a multiple inbound and outbound doors cross docking problem according to Just-In-Time concept. The objective is to find the schedule of transhipment operations to simultaneously minimize the total earliness and total tardiness of trucks. Then, a multi-objective differential evolution (MODE) is proposed with an encoding scheme and four decoding strategies, called ITSH, ITDD, OTSH and OTDD, to find a Pareto frontier for the multi-door cross docking problems. The performances of MODE are evaluated using 15 generated instances. The numerical experiments demonstrate that the proposed algorithm is capable of finding a set of diverse and high quality non-dominated solutions.

This paper considers common due-date assignment and scheduling on parallel machines. The main decisions are: (a) deter-mining the common due-date; (b) allocating jobs to machines; and (c) sequencing the jobs assigned to each machine. The objective is to minimize the sum of the penalties associated with common due-date assignment, earliness and tardiness. As an extension of the existing studies on the problem, we consider sequence-dependent setup times that depend on the type of job just completed and on the job to be processed. The sequence-dependent setups, commonly found in various manufacturing systems, make the problem much more complicated. To represent the problem more clearly, a mixed integer programming model is suggested, and due to the complexity of the problem, two heuristics, one with individual sequence-dependent setup times and the other with aggregated sequence-dependent setup times, are suggested after analyzing the characteristics of the problem. Computational experiments were done on a number of test instances and the results are reported.
