Abstract

The work presented here today is based on a simulation model of a portion of one of our stamping plants. The presentation begins by briefly describing a typical section of the stamping plant and the scheduling environment in which the plant operates. After describing the reality, the author will then proceed to describe the simulation model built and its verification and scheduling approaches. The presentation concludes with a summary of the results and some general remarks on the importance of scheduling in the factory of the future.

Utilization of nonclairvoyant online schedules

This paper addresses the analysis of nondelay, nonpreemptive, nonclairvoyant online schedules for independent jobs on m identical machines. In our online model, all jobs are submitted over time. We show that the commonly used makespan criterion is not ...
Agent-based Simulation for Creating Robust Plans and Schedules

The paper describes methods for constructing the robust schedules using agent-based simulation. The measure of robustness represents the resistance of the schedule to random phenomena and we present the method for calculating robustness of the schedule. ...
Dense open-shop schedules with release times

We study open-shop scheduling problems with job release times. The objective is to minimize the makespan. Dense schedules, easy to construct, are often used as approximate solutions. Performance ratios of the makespans from dense schedules and that of ...
