1. Meeting Agenda 07-22-14 (1)Overview ( 概观 ) (2)Questions from previous week ( 上周遗留问题 ) (3)Optimization algorithm update ( 优化更新 ) (4)VBA to MATLAB. ( 界面连接 )

2. (1) Overview Previous Week and Current Week: – Questions from previous weeks. ( 上周遗留问题 ) – VBA to MATLAB. ( 界面连接 ) – Optimization algorithm update. ( 优化更新 ) Next Week: –Update the algorithm for the additional constraints regarding the first batch of work order 7 using all four machines while the rest of them only use 3.

3. (2) Previous week questions To train the data with different amount of neural networks. ( 用较少量的神经网路进行 训练，比较结果 ) – Yet to finish ( 尚未完成 ) Schedule case for machine 13.1- 13.4 ( 龙门刨 床设备分配情况 ) – In progress

4. (3) Optimization Multiple machines for non-critical steps – The optimization algorithm has been updated so that the processing time for non-critical steps on non-critical machines is calculated by taking account of all the machines the steps can use rather just one. Additional Constraints – Additional constraints have been added so that the batches are completed in incremental order (701 then 702 then 703 etc.)

5. (4) Database-MATLAB Bridge We are now able to access information from database in MATLAB. The next step is to extract all the necessary information and link to the optimization algorithms.
