The Euclidean steiner tree problem (ESTP) is to find a minimum-length euclidean interconnection of a set of points in the plane. It is well known that the solution to this problem will be the minimal spanning tree (MST) on some set steiner points, and the ESTP is NP-complete. The ESTP has received a lot of attention in the literature, and heuristic and optimal algorithms have been proposed. In real field, heuristic algorithms for ESTP are popular. A key performance measure of the algorithm for the ESTP is the reduction rate that is achieved by the difference between the objective value of the ESTP and that of the MST without steiner points. In recent survey for ESTP, the best heuristic algorithm showed around $3.14\%$ reduction in the performance measure. We present a evolution programming (EP) for ESTP based upon the Prim algorithm for the MST problem. The computational results show that the EP can generate better results than already known heuristic algorithms.

This paper proposes a heuristic method for job shop scheduling with alternative machines. Our heuristic suggests four machine-selecting rules and two priority dispatching rules for modifying existent ones considering alternative machines, and then it extends existing nondelay/active job shop schedule generation. This heuristic provides good criteria(rules) in the selection of a proper machine among those performing a specific operation and for the dispatch of an operation to a selected machine and thus these rules permit the efficient job shop scheduling with alternative machines. The performances of our four machine-selecting rules in addition to the two priority dispatching rules, applied together with the existing 17 rules, are experimented and evaluated, respectively.

This paper deal with the block storage planning problem of storing and retrieving assembly blocks in a temporary storage yard with limited capacity, which is one of the critical managerial problems in shipbuilding. The block storage planning problem is required to minimize the number of relocations of blocks while the constraints for storage and retrieval time windows are satisfied. We first show NP-hardness of the block storage planning problem. Next we propose a heuristic algorithm to generate good quality solutions for larger instances in very short computational time. The proposed heuristic algorithm was validated by comparing the results with the mathematical model presented in the previous study.

This paper considers a single-machine scheduling problem with availability constraints. In many realistic situations, machines may not be always available due to various reasons such as maintenance, breakdown and repair. However, most literature on scheduling assume that the machines are available at all times. This paper deals with a single-machine scheduling problem with periodic maintenance. If the maintenance decision is made jointly with the job scheduling, the system will be more effective. The objective is to minimize the total completion time of jobs. This problem is proved to be NP-hard in the strong sense. The proposed breaking heuristic(BH) algorithm rule is established by some theorems and conditions. Our computational results show that the BH algorithm is much more efficient than existing heuristic.

In Korean peninsular, Air Defense with SAM(Surface-to-Air Missile) is very important, because of threatening by North Korea's theater ballistic missiles installed with nuclear or biochemistry. Effective and successful defense operation largely depends on two factors, SAM's location and the number of SAM for each target based on missile's availability in each SAM's location. However, most previous papers have handled only the former. In this paper, we developed Multi-heuristic algorithm which can handle both factors simultaneously for solving allocation problem of the batteries and missile assignment problem in each battery. To solve allocation problem, genetic algorithm is used to decide location of the batteries. To solve missile assignment problem, a heuristic algorithm is applied to determine the number of SAM for each target. If the proposed model is applied to allocation of SAM, it will improve the effectiveness of missile defense operations.

The application of GT results in the mass production effect to multi-product, small lot-sized production. Group scheduling, which is operations scheduling based on the GT concept, is analyzed in a multistage manufacturing system. But the research has been limited in independent setup time models. A heuristic algorithm has been developed to minimize the mean flow time when setup times are dependent to sequence of group in multistage. For evaluation of the heuristic algorithm, the solution of heuristic algorithm is compared with that of random scheduling. The result of comparison indicates that the proposed heuristic algorithm provides good solutions with relatively fewer computational effort.

Purpose: This study develops heuristic process capability indices (PCIs) using distribution-decomposition methods and evaluates the performances. The heuristic methods decompose the variation of a quality characteristic into upper and lower deviations and adjust the value of the PCIs using decomposed deviations in accordance with the skewness. The weighted variance(WV), new WV(NWV), scaled WV(SWV), and weighted standard deviation(WSD) methods are considered. Methods: The performances of the heuristic PCIs are investigated under the varied situations such as various skewed distributions, sample sizes, and specifications. Results: WV PCI is the best under the normal populations, WSD and SWV PCIs are the best under the low skewed populations, NWV PCI is the best under the moderate and high skewed populations. Conclusion: Comprehensive analysis shows that the NWV method is most adequate for a practical use.

This paper is concerned with a development and evaluation of heuristic algorithms for the n-job, M-stage flowshop with sequence dependent setup times. Three heuristic algorithms, CAIDAN, DANNEN and PETROV, are proposed. The makespan is taken as a performance measure for the algorithms. The experiment for each algorithm is designed for a $4{\times}3{\times}3$ factorial design with 360 observations. The experimental factors are PS (ratio of processing times to setup times), M (number of machines), and N (number of jobs). The makespan of the proposed heuristic algorithms is compared with the optimal makespan obtained by the complete enumeration method. The result of comparision of performance measure is called a relative error. The mean relative errors of CAIDAN, DANNEN and PETROV algorithms are 4.488%. 6.712% and 7.282%, respectively. The computational results are analysed using SPSS. The experimental results show that the three factors are statistically signiticant at 5% level.

Disassembly scheduling is the problem of determining the ordering and disassembly schedules of used products while satisfying the demand of their parts of components over a certain planning horizon. The objective is to minimize the sum of purchase, setup, disassembly operation and inventory holding costs. This paper considers products with assembly structure, i.e. products without parts commonality, and suggests a heuristic in which an initial solution is obtained in the form of the minimal latest disassembly schedule, and then improved considering trade-offs among different cost factors. To show the performance of the heuristic suggested in this paper, computational experiments were done on the modified existing examples and the results show that the heuristic can give optimal of very near optimal solutions within very short computation times.

In industrial production settings, scheduling problems for detailed day-to-day operations are often ordeals to production practitioners. For those who have scheduling experiences with the Gantt Chart, the job oriented heuristic scheduling has illustrated its merits in solving practically large scale scheduling problems. It schedules all operations of a job within a finite capacity before considering the next job. In this paper, we Introduce the LSB (load smoothing backward) scheduling algorithm for the job oriented heuristic scheduling. Through a computer experiment in a hypothetical setting, we make a performance comparison of LSB scheduling algorithm with existing algorithms and also suggest a guideline for selecting the suitable algorithm for certain industrial settings.
