Reactive scheduling in a job shop where jobs arrive over time

The paper considers the dynamic job shop scheduling problem (DJSSP) with job release dates which arises widely in practical production systems. The principle characteristic of DJSSP considered in the paper is that the jobs arrive continuously in time and the attributes of the jobs, such as the release dates, routings and processing times are not known in advance, whereas in the classical job shop scheduling problem (CJSSP), it is assumed that all jobs to be processed are available at the beginning of the scheduling process. Reactive scheduling approach is one of the effective approaches for DJSSP. In the paper, a heuristic is proposed to implement the reactive scheduling of the jobs in the dynamic production environment. The proposed heuristic decomposes the original scheduling problem into a number of sub problems. Each sub problem, in fact, is a dynamic single machine scheduling problem with job release dates. The scheduling technique applied in theproposed heuristic is priority scheduling, which determines the next state of the system based on priority values of certain system elements. The system elements are prioritized with the help of scheduling rules (SRs). An approach based on gene expression programming (GEP) is also proposed in the paper to construct efficient SRs for DJSSP. The rules constructed by GEP are evaluated in the comparison of the rules constructed by GP and several prominent human made rules selected from literatures on extensive problem sets with respect to various measures of performance.

Solving the ship inventory routing and scheduling problem with undedicated compartments

This paper presents a ship inventory routing and scheduling problem with undedicated compartments (sIRPSP-UC). The objective of the problem is to find a minimum cost solution while satisfying a number of technical and physical constraints within a given planning horizon. In this problem, we identify four sub-problems that need to be decided simultaneously: route selections, ship selection, loading, and unloading activity procedures. To solve this problem, first, we developed a mixed integer linear programming model. We then developed a one-step greedy heuristic, and then based on this heuristic, we propose a set of heuristics. Each heuristic has a combination of rules for each sub-problem. A number of problem instances are used to compare the solutions of the two approaches. We applied selected good combinations of rules to solve each problem using the heuristic approach. The results show that 8 out 12 of the considered problem instances have no gap with MILP solution solved using LINGO. We also find that the average gap is 1.96%. In contrast when we consistently use the same combination for all iterations, there are no dominant combinations of heuristics that can find good solutions for all the problem instances.     

Fuzzy resource‐constrained project scheduling using taboo search algorithm

This paper proposes a mathematical model to deal with project scheduling problem under vagueness and a framework of a heuristic approach to fuzzy resource‐constrained project scheduling problem (F‐RCPSP) using heuristic and metaheuristic scheduling methods. Our approach is very simple to apply, and it does not require knowing the explicit form of the membership functions of the fuzzy activity times. We first identify two typical activity priority rules, namely, resource over time and minimum slack priority rules. They are used in the F‐RCPS problem and in the initial solution of Taboo search (TS) method. We improved the TS algorithm method for the solution of F‐RCPSP. Our objective is to check the performance of these rules and metaheuristic method in minimizing the project completion time for the F‐RCPS problems. In our study, we use trapezoidal fuzzy numbers (TraFNs) for activity times and activity‐on‐nodes (AON) representation and compute several project characteristics such as earliest, latest, and slack times in terms of TraFNs. The computational experiment shows that the performance of the proposed TS is better than the evaluation and light beam search algorithms in the literature. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.     

A bi-level evolutionary optimization approach for integrated production and transportation scheduling

This paper investigates an integrated production and transportation scheduling (IPTS) problem which is formulated as a bi-level mixed integer nonlinear program. This problem considers distinct realistic features widely existing in make-to-order supply chains, namely unrelated parallel-machine production environment and product batch-based delivery. An evolution-strategy-based bi-level evolutionary optimization approach is developed to handle the IPTS problem by integrating a memetic algorithm and heuristic rules. The efficiency and effectiveness of the proposed approach is evaluated by numerical experiments based on industrial data and industrial-size problems. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed approach can effectively solve the problem investigated.     

Quadratic approximation based differential evolution with valuable trade off approach for bi-objective short-term hydrothermal scheduling

Short-term combined economic emission hydrothermal scheduling (CEES) is a bi-objective problem: (i) minimizing fuel cost and (ii) minimizing pollutant emission. In this paper, quadratic approximation based differential evolution with valuable trade off approach (QADEVT) has been developed to solve the bi-objective hydrothermal scheduling problem. The practical hydrothermal system possesses various constraints which make the problem of finding global optimum difficult. In this paper, heuristic rules are proposed to handle the water dynamic balance constraints and heuristic strategies based on priority list are employed to handle active power balance constraints. A feasibility-based selection technique is also introduced to satisfy the reservoir storage volumes constraints. To demonstrate the superiority of the proposed approach, simulation results have been compared with those obtained by differential evolution (DE) and particle swarm optimization (PSO) with same heuristic strategies and the earlier reported methods available in literature. The simulation results reveal that the proposed approach is capable of efficiently providing superior solutions.     

An enhanced exact procedure for the absolute robust shortest path problem

The aim of this paper is to investigate the use of heuristic information to efficiently solve to optimality the robust shortest path problem. Starting from the exact algorithm proposed by Murty and Her, we describe how this algorithm can be enhanced by using heuristic rules and evaluation functions to guide the search. The efficiency of the proposed enhanced approach is tested over a range of random generated instances. Our computational results indicate that the use of heuristic criteria is able to speed up considerably the search and that the enhanced exact solution method outperforms the state‐of‐the‐art algorithm proposed by Murty and Her in most of the instances.
