Traditional job shop scheduling is supposed that machine has a fixed processing job type. But actually the machine has a highly utilization or long processing time is occurred delay. Therefore product system is difficult to respond quickly to the change of products or loads or machine failure etc. Here we use flexible job shop which is supposed that a machine has several jobs by tool change. The heuristic for the flexible job shop scheduling has to solve two problems. One is a routing problem which is determine a machine to process job. The other is sequencing problem which is determine processing sequence. The approach to solve two problems arc a hierarchical approach which is determined routing and then schedule, and a concurrence approach which is solved concurrently two problems by considering routing when it is scheduled. In this study, we simulate for flexibility efficiency fo flexible job shop scheduling with machine failure using hierarchical approach.

전통적인 job shop 일정계획문제는 NP_hard 문제로 조합최적화 문제이다 일반적인 가정은 job이 방문하는 기계들의 경로가 고정되어 있다는 것이다. 경로 유연성을 가지는 job shop 일정계획문제는 job이 방문하는 기계들의 경로가 고정되어져 있지 않다는 것이다. 이러한 경우에 전통적인 job shop 문제를 복잡하게 만든다. 경로 유연성을 가지는 job shop 문제도 NP-hard 문제이다. 그러므로 휴레스틱이나 AI 기법들을 사용하는 하는 것이 불가피하게 되었다. 유전 알고리즘은 매우 복잡한 조합 최적화문제인 job shop 일정계획문제에 적용되어지고 있다. 이 논문은 최대완료시간(makespan)으로 경로 유연성을 가지는 job shop 일정계획문제를 풀기 위한 유전 알고리즘을 제시하고자 한다. 먼저 경로 유연성을 가지는 job shop 일정계획문제에 대한 정의를 내리고 유전 알고리즘을 구축하기 위한 첫 단계로 유전적 표현 즉, 개체 표현방법에 대해 설명하고 유전 연산자의 소개 그리고 알고리즘 재생과정을 제시하고 수치실험을 통해 알고리즘이 양질의 일정계획을 찾을 수 있다는 것을 보이고자 한다.

본 연구는 TPN unfolding을 이용하여 WIP의 FMS(Flexible Manufacturing System)를 분석하는 방법을 제시한다. PN의 unfolding은 상태폭발이 발생하지 않는 concurrent system의 검증에 사용되는 순서기반방법이다. 본 연구는 일반적으로 발생하는 순환상태스케쥴문제에서 가장 그 작업과정 시간을 최적화함을 위하여 원래의 net을 동일한 비순환 net으로 바꾸어 줄 수 있는 unfolding 개념을 기반으로 한 것이다.

This paper considers a scheduling problem in a flexible job shop with a reconfigurable manufacturing cell. The flexible job shop has both operation and routing flexibilities, which can be represented in the form of a multiple process plan, i.e. each part can be processed through alternative operations, each of which can be processed on alternative machines. The scheduling problem has three decision variables: (a) selecting operation/machine pairs for each part; (b) sequencing of parts to be fed into the reconfigurable manufacturing cell; and (c) sequencing of the parts assigned to each machine. Due to the reconfigurable manufacturing cell's ability of adjusting the capacity, functionality and flexibility to the desired levels, the priority scheduling approach is proposed in which the three decisions are made at the same time by combining operation/machine selection rules, input sequencing rules and part sequencing rules. To show the performances of various rule combinations, simulation experiments were done on various instances generated randomly using the experiences of the manufacturing experts, and the results are reported for the objectives of minimizing makespan, mean flow time and mean tardiness, respectively.

Recent trends in the flexible manufacturing systems are morphing cell control for the shop-wide production operation system and providing the integrated operation and execution system together with vendor-specific FMC/FMS platform. In these requirements, the shop-floor level operation system plays a role of coordinating the control activity of each cell, and has to provide flexibility for the complexity of mixed operations of various cells. This paper suggests a system architecture for the mixed environments of multi-cells and job shop, its corresponding enabling technologies based on comparative studies with other related studies and commercialized systems. This approach includes a process definition model considering the integration with upper BOM-BOP and external service modules, and reconfigurable device-level interface which provides dynamic interconnections with machine tools and cell controllers. The function modules and their implementation results are also described to provide the feasibility of the proposed approaches as the flexible shop-floor operation system for the multi-cell environments.

This paper suggests a decision tree based approach for flexible job shop scheduling with multiple process plans. The problem is to determine the operation/machine pairs and the sequence of the jobs assigned to each machine. Two decision tree based scheduling mechanisms are developed for static and dynamic flexible job shops. In the static case, all jobs are given in advance and the decision tree is used to select a priority dispatching rule to process all the jobs. Also, in the dynamic case, the jobs arrive over time and the decision tree, updated regularly, is used to select a priority rule in real-time according to a rescheduling strategy. The two decision tree based mechanisms were applied to a flexible job shop case with reconfigurable manufacturing cells and a conventional job shop, and the results are reported for various system performance measures.

For companies assembling end products from sub assemblies or components, MRP (Material Requirement Planning) logic is frequently used to synchronize and pace the production activities for the required parts. However, in MRP, the planning of operational-level activities is left to short term scheduling. So, we need a good scheduling algorithm to generate feasible schedules taking into account shop floor characteristics and multi-level job structures used in MRP. In this paper, we present a GA (Genetic Algorithm) solution for this complex scheduling problem based on a new gene to reflect the machine assignment, operation sequences and the levels of the operations relative to final operation. The relative operation level is the control parameter that paces the completion timing of the components belonging to the same branch in the multi-level job hierarchy. In order to revise the fixed relative level which solutions are confined to, we apply large step transition in the first step and GA in the second step. We compare the genetic algorithm and 2-phase optimization with several dispatching rules in terms of tardiness for about forty modified standard job-shop problem instances.

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.

Utilizing the simulation approaches, the dynamic production scheduling system FOLS(Flexible flowshop On-Line Simulation) is developed under the flexible flowshop environment. When an interruption such as machine failure/recovery is occurred at the shop floor, the FOLS system performs evaluations for job selection rule oriented alternatives, and generates a dynamic production schedule based on the collected current shop floor data. For the case study, the FOLS system is applied to the printed circuit card assembly(PCCA) line and simulation results are reported.
