Abstract
Spatiotemporal scheduling of the block assembly process in shipbuilding is to determine temporal information including a time period when each block is under assembly and spatial information including an assigned bay and the placement of the block within the assigned bay. Due to a large number of discrete variables to optimize, finding an optimal schedule in a reasonably short time is almost impossible. Instead, we divide the problem into two phases where the first phase determines the bay assignment and processing start date for each block and the second phase determines the coordinates and rotation of each block in its assigned bay. Our objective is to find a block assembly schedule that minimizes the number of blocks that fail to be processed on time and unfairness in workloads across bays and days. The proposed algorithm is tested on six datasets of block information provided by Korea Shipbuilding & Offshore Engineering Co., Ltd. (KSOE). Our algorithm speeds up the scheduling process and finds schedules of higher quality compared to the original schedules that are manually planned by KSOE.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
