1. Flow shop Scheduling Problems with Transportation and Capacities Constraints Oulamara, A.; Soukhal, A. 2001 IEEE SMC Conference Speaker: Chan-Lon Wang

2. Scheduling Classification 1.Open-shop scheduling  Each job visit each machine again  Different jobs have different routes  Processing time of job maybe is zero

3. Open-shop scheduling Example: Job: J 1, J 2, J 3, J 4 Machine: M 1, M 2, M 3 M1M1 M2M2 M3M3 J1J1 OUT M1M1 M2M2 M3M3 J2J2 M3M3 M2M2 M1M1 J3J3 M2M2 M1M1 M3M3 J4J4

4. Job-shop scheduling  Each job visit each machine at most once  Each job has own routing M1M1 M2M2 M3M3 J1J1 OUT M1M1 M2M2 M3M3 J2J2 M3M3 M2M2 M1M1 J3J3 M2M2 M1M1 M3M3 J4J4

5. Flow-shop scheduling  Jobs are not preemptive  Each job has m tasks with processing time  Each job follow a same route M1M1 M2M2 M3M3 J1J1 OUT M1M1 M2M2 M3M3 J2J2 M1M1 M2M2 M3M3 J3J3 M1M1 M2M2 M3M3 J4J4

9. Problem Description-1 Graham et al.:  |  |  F2  D|v=1, c=2|C max F2:two machines, D:truck, v: one truck, c=capacity of truck, C max =min makespan

10. Problem Description-2 The classical problem: –Unlimited intermediate buffer capacity –Infinite speed vehicles Constraints: –Transportation capacity –Transportation time

11. Problem Description-3 F2  D|v=1, c=1, no wait |C max  F3  D| no wait |C max If the truck consider as a machine.

12. Flow-shop with capacity of truck limited to parts Flow-shop with unlimited buffer space –F2  D|v=1, c=2|C max is NP-hard Flow-shop with limited buffer space at the output system –F2  D|v=1, c=2, blacking(1, 2)|C max is NP-hard

13. Resolution methods Four greedy algorithms for solving –F2  D|v=1, c=2|C max and –F2  D|v=1, c=2, blacking(1, 2)|C max L1: no wait + no-decreasing job sequence L2: no wait + no-increasing job sequence L3: unlimited buffer space + Johnson’s order L4: no wait + Gilmore & Gomory’s order

14. L1: no wait + no-decreasing job sequence 41525 3243 6 Car-1Car-2Car-3 Car-4 Car-5 No wait regard as no buffer between machine. No decreasing regard as ascending. Ex: Job order: car2, car4, car1, car3, car5. For machine-1.

15. L2: no wait + no-increasing job sequence No wait regard as no buffer between machine. No increasing regard as descending. Ex: Job order: car3, car5, car1, car4, car2. 41525 3243 6 Car-1Car-2Car-3 Car-4 Car-5

16. L3: Unlimited buffer space + Johnson’s order Unlimited buffer space regard as no buffer between machine. Johnson’s order is optimal.

17. For two machines flow shop Input:  A set of n independent jobs  Each with m tasks Output:  A schedule  A nearly minimum completion time of the last job Review of Johnson Algorithm

18. The sequence {U, V} = {} ={Car-2, car-4, car-5, car-3, car-1} U= {t 1i ascending by Sum V={t 1j >=t 2j }= {Car-1, Car-3} =>descending by Sum Makespan=21 Ex: A car painting factory Car-1Car-2Car-3 Car-4 Car-5 41525 3243 6 Sum 739511

19. The Johnson Final Scheduling The final completion time = 21 P1=17 P2=21

20. Problem with unlimited buffer

21. No buffer area between machines

22. Conclusions With unlimited buffer between machines the problem is NP-hard With no buffer between machines the problem is NP-hard
