Webscheduling problem where no-idle times are allowed in machines. The no-idle constraint refers to an important practical situation in the production environment, where expensive machinery is used. There are wide applications of no-idle permutation flowshop scheduling (NIPFS) problems, especially in the fiberglass processing (Kalczynski and ...

Solutions to the Constrained Flowshop Sequencing Problem
WebNov 1, 2005 · For the problem with both no-wait and no-idle constraints, Wang et al. (2005) studied a two-stage flexible flowshop scheduling problem with m and m+1 machines at … Webmachines and a machine is not kept idle if a job for the machine is ready for processing. Noting that minimizing the makespan is equivalent to minimizing idle time on the last machine, Johnson proposed an algorithm to solve the n/2/F/Cmax problem in O(n log n) time. Johnson further presented an algorithm to solve the birthday month calendar
An Evaluation of Flow Shop Sequencing Heuristics
WebAbstract. This paper is an attempt to study general flow shop scheduling problem in which processing time of jobs is associated with probabilities under no-idle constraint. The objective of this paper is to develop a heuristic algorithm to flowshop scheduling so that no machine remains idle during working for any given sequence of jobs. The proposed … Webof idle time in the schedule can be advantageous. See [6] for a literature review about scheduling with inserted idle time. The problem parameters for all the formulations studied in the rest of this work are (a) n: the number of jobs, (b) m: the number of machines, (c) p ik: the processing time of job i on machine k, and (d) d i: the due date ... WebIn this study, a general variable neighborhood search (GVNS) is presented to solve no-idle permutation flowshop scheduling problem (NIPFS), where idle times are not allowed on machines. GVNS is a metaheuristic, where inner loop operates a variable neighborhood descend (VND) algorithm whereas the outer loop carries out some perturbations on the ... birthday monster mash
