Optimization of Multi-objective Function of n-step Hybrid Flowshop Scheduling

Abstract

Automation of production control (e.g. scheduling) to continuously improve the production efficiency become more important issue, according to labor shortages in the Japanese manufacturing industry have become a serious problem in recent [1]. Our research target is one of severe production systems, a High-mix Low-volume Make-to-Order (MTO) business. Its production planning and scheduling is required a work-leveling of the production load (WLL) as well as the scheduling [2].
