Abstract
This study addresses multi-stage hybrid flow shop scheduling in which a job is reworked if the queue time between two arbitrary stages exceeds an upper limit. The problem is to determine the allocations of jobs to machines at each stage and the start times of jobs and rework setups/operations when incurred. A mixed integer programming model is proposed for each of the makespan and the total tardiness measures. Then, because the problem is NP-hard, a scheduling mechanism is proposed that consists of three phases: (a) filtering the jobs to be delayed; (b) searching the jobs to be reworked; and (c) dispatching non-delayed and delayed jobs sequentially. Simulation results show that the mechanism proposed in this study outperforms the conventional dispatching approach in the high rework setup time case for the makespan problem and low/high setup time cases for the tardiness problem. The best priority rules of the mechanism under each of the measures are also reported.
期刊介绍:
Manufacturing industries throughout the world are changing very rapidly. New concepts and methods are being developed and exploited to enable efficient and effective manufacturing. Existing manufacturing processes are being improved to meet the requirements of lean and agile manufacturing. The aim of the Journal of Engineering Manufacture is to provide a focus for these developments in engineering manufacture by publishing original papers and review papers covering technological and scientific research, developments and management implementation in manufacturing. This journal is also peer reviewed.
Contributions are welcomed in the broad areas of manufacturing processes, manufacturing technology and factory automation, digital manufacturing, design and manufacturing systems including management relevant to engineering manufacture. Of particular interest at the present time would be papers concerned with digital manufacturing, metrology enabled manufacturing, smart factory, additive manufacturing and composites as well as specialist manufacturing fields like nanotechnology, sustainable & clean manufacturing and bio-manufacturing.
Articles may be Research Papers, Reviews, Technical Notes, or Short Communications.
