Learning the Distribution Characteristics of Critical Machines in Production Scheduling Problems

Article Preview

Abstract:

A critical machine identification algorithm is proposed for the job shop scheduling problem in which the total tardiness must be minimized. An optimization-based procedure is devised to learn the distribution characteristics of critical machines in a specific scheduling instance. The proposed simulated annealing algorithm optimizes the scheduling problem after the capacity constraints for each machine are modified. A genetic algorithm based on combined dispatching rules is designed to verify the effectiveness of the proposed methodology.
