This paper investigates the design of a priority rule in a multi-product disassembly environment. Specifically, it is concerned with product scheduling by which the inventory control of disassembled parts can be incorporated into a priority rule to reduce part lead times. The part lead time consists of two components: flow time and supply delay. The primary focus of the paper is on the development of a disassembly priority rule that aims to reduce the supply delay. We propose a priority rule, called Minimum Distance (MD) rule, to improve the supply delay performance. Finally, we provide a comparative analysis on the performance of traditional rules and the new rule proposed in this paper via a simulation model.

This study presents a single machine scheduling algorithm to minimize total cost(lateness cost, earliness cost and failure cost) by controlling machining speed. Generally, production scheduling uses the information of process planning and machining speed is not changed at production scheduling. And failure cost is not consider for scheduling algorithm. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to consider the change of machining speed for efficient production scheduling. And performance criteria for algorithm considers total cost. Especially, failure cost of product by increasing machining speed is considered.

Many firms are trying to optimize their production and distribution systems separately, but possible profit increase by this approach is limited. Nowadays, it is more important to analyze these two systems simultaneously for the integrated supply chain management. This paper is a computational study to investigate the effectiveness of integrating production and distribution scheduling. We are interested in a multi-plant, multi-retailer, multi-product and multi-period industrial problem where the objective in solving production and distribution scheduling problem is to maximize the total net profit. Computational results on test problems of various sizes using the heuristic we developed show a substantial advantage of the integrated scheduling approach over the decoupled scheduling process. Sensitivity analysis on the parameter values indicates that, under the right conditions, the effectiveness of integrating production and distribution functions can be extremely high.

Presented in this paper is a scheduling method for semiconductor backend process considering the backward pegging. It is known that the pegging for frontend is a process of labeling WIP lots for target order which is specified by due date, quantity, and product specifications including customer information. As a result, it gives the release plan to meet the out target considering current WIP. However, the semiconductor backend process includes the multichip package and test operation for the product bin portion. Therefore, backward pegging method for frontend can't give the release plan for backend process in semiconductor. In this paper, we suggest backward pegging method considering the characteristics of multichip package and test operation in backend process. And we describe the backward pegging problem using the examples.

Most of scheduling papers on FMS have been considered that the fabrication process, the machining process and the assembly process etc. are independent and the releasing, routing, dependent, batching, loading problem are treated separetely. In this paper, we discuss that the integrated scheduling problem which can be solved for efficient use. We combine two systems that each process system which in order to produce a product is treated dependently, the releasing and the routing problem are combined one system and we present the efficient flexible manufacturing system as including the alternate process.

This paper deals with a single-facility multiproduction model concerning the basic cyclic scheduling. The aim is to obtain the production order of each product in a cycle and the cycle frequency for minimizing the setup costs and inventory carrying costs of all products. The problem is formulated by LP and it shows that the optimal solution derived dominates the solution of non-cyclic scheduling model on some conditions.

In this paper, we are focused on the analysis of acyclic schedule for the determination of the opti-mal cycle time and minimization of work in process. Especially, this paper deals with the product ratio-driven cyclic scheduling problem in FMS with different products and ratio using the TPN(Time Petri Nets)un-folding.

This paper is concerned with the flow shop scheduling problems considering different weighted penalty costs for earliness and lateness, and a common due date. The objective of the paper is to develop an efficient heuristic scheduling algorithm for minimizing total penalty costs and for determining the optimal common due date. The positional weight index and, the product sum method are used. A numerical example is given for illustrating the proposed algorithm.

Panel line is an important process occupying the largest work amount in shipbuilding. In this research product simulation has been carried out to establish the optimal production scheduling. For this purpose a web-based panel line simulator was developed using an object modeling technology and C# language. The balance of work-load and increase in the productivity by the improvement of production facilities and process are the key factors for a good scheduling. In this study SPRT(Shortest Remaining Process Time) rule was applied for the work-load balancing and a good result achieved. To increase the productivity in the stiffener welding stage which is a bottleneck; process, more welding heads and higher welding speed were tested using the developed simulator. The simulation results showed that either more welding head or higher welding speed decreased the total work time. Use of both, however, deteriorated the productivity because of the bottleneck in the following stage. This result points out that the improvement of production facilities and/or process should be evaluated with their influences on the leading and following processing stage.

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.
