As recent production facilities are usually operated with unmanned material-handling system, the development of an efficient schedule with deadlock avoidance becomes a critical problem. Related researches on deadlock avoidance usually focus on real-time control of manufacturing system using deadlock avoidance policy. But little off-line optimization of deadlock-free schedule has been reported. This paper presents an optimization method for deadlock-free scheduling for Job-Shop system with no buffer. The deadlock-free schedule is acquired by the procedure that generates candidate lists of waiting operations, and applies a deadlock avoidance policy. To verify the proposed approach, simulation resultsare presented for minimizing makespan in three problem types. According to the simulation results the effect of each deadlock avoidance policy is dependent on the type of problem. When the proposed LOEM (Last Operation Exclusion Method) is employed, computing time for optimization as well as makespan is reduced.

Job-Shop Scheduling 문제는 전형적인 NP-hard 문제로서 효율적인 발견적 기법을 필요로 한다. 본 연구에서는 이 문제에 대한 유전알고리즘들의 성능을 비교 분석한다. 유전 알고리즘의 주요 구성 요소들로는 크게 선별, 교차, 돌연변이 등이 존재하는데, 특히 선별은 적자 생존의 자연 법칙에 기초하여, 환경에 대한 적응도에 의해 현 세대의 모집단으로부터 다음 세대에 생존할 개체를 선택하는 과정으로 해의 산출에 중요한 역할을 하는 부분이다. 기존의 많은 연구들이 유전 연산자인 교차, 돌연변이 방법들에 대한 성능 비교에 초점을 맞추었는데, 본 연구에서는 선별 과정에 초점을 맞추어 기존의 알려진 여러 선별 방법 들을Job-Shop Scheduling 문제에의 적용을 통해 비교 분석하고 새로운 선별 방법을 제안한다.

In these days, domestic manufacturers are faced with managerial difficulties such as the increasing competition in their industry and the increasing power of customers. In this situation, they have to satisfy their customers with high quality of their products and meeting due date of their orders. Production of the order within due date is an important factor for improving enterprise competitiveness. The causes of occurrence of tardiness may be wrong product scheduling, unexpected events in field and so on, a way to minimize tardiness is use of alternative machines, overwork, outsourcing and etc.. In this study, we deal with a scheduling problem that can minimize tardiness using alternative machines. This paper provides a mathematical program and a heuristic method for job shop scheduling for minimizing tardiness with alternative machines. And a proposed heuristic method is verified comparing with optimal solution obtained by ILOG CPLEX.

Scheduling is one of the most important issues in the planning and operation of production systems. This paper investigates a general job shop scheduling problem with reentrant work flows and sequence dependent setup times. The disjunctive graph representation is used to capture the interactions between machines in job shop. Based on this representation, four two-phase heuristic procedures are proposed to obtain near optimal solutions for this problem. The obtained solutions in the first phase are substantially improved by reversing the direction of some critical disjunctive arcs of the graph in the second phase. A comparative study is conducted to examine the performance of these proposed algorithms.

In case that any jobs in a Job Shop can be scheduled on more than one machine and may have flexible operation sequences, with considering such case it is very difficult and complex to make the optimal process plans and scheduling. But they should be considered for an integrated model to perform more effective process planning and scheduling in this job shop problem. In this paper, we propose GA-based scheduling method to integrate effectively the problem of alternative machines, alternative operation sequences and scheduling. The performance of proposed GA is evaluated through comparing integrated scheduling with not integrated scheduling in molding company with alternative machines and operation sequences. Also, we use benchmark problems to evaluate performance. The scheduling method in this research will apply usefully to real world scheduling problems.

In solving the Job Shop Scheduling Problem, the best solution rarely is completely random; it follows one or more rules (heuristics). The Genetic Algorithm (GA), Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO), Simulated Annealing, and Tabu search, which belong to the Evolutionary Computations Algorithms (ECs), are not efficient enough in solving this problem as they neglect all conventional heuristics and hence they need to be hybridized with different heuristics. In this paper a new algorithm titled "Shaking Optimization Algorithm" is proposed that follows the common methodology of the Evolutionary Computations while utilizing different heuristics during the evolution process of the solution. The results show that the proposed algorithm outperforms the GA, PSO, SA, and TS algorithms, while being a good competitor to some other hybridized techniques in solving a selected number of benchmark Job Shop Scheduling problems.

Job-shop scheduling problem(JSSP) is one of the best-known machine scheduling problems and essentially an ordering problem. A new encoding scheme which always give a feasible schedule is presented, by which a schedule directly corresponds to an assigned-operation ordering string. It is initialized with G&T algorithm and improved using the developed genetic operator; APMX or BPMX crossover operator and mutation operator. and the problem of infeasibility in genetic generation is naturally overcome. Within the framework of the newly designed genetic algorithm, the NP-hard classical job-shop scheduling problem can be efficiently solved with high quality. Moreover the optimal solutions of the famous benchmarks, the Fisher and Thompson's 10${\times}$10 and 20${\times}$5 problems, are found.

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.

This study presents the new dispatching rules of job shop scheduling with auxiliary resource constraint to improve the schedule performance measures related to completion time and due dates. The proposed dispatching rules consider the information of total work remaining and machine utilization to decrease mean flowtime and mean tardiness. The results of computer experiments show that those schedule performances are significantly improved by using the new dispatching rules. The results provide guidance for the researchers and practitioners of auxiliary resource constrained job shop scheduling to decrease mean flowtime and mean tardiness.
