Solving the scheduling problems of flexible job shop manufacturing systems with multi-objective reactive method

Abstract

The paper presents an advanced scheduling model and a multi-objective reactive solving method of flexible job shop manufacturing system. A scheduling approach is presented that can be able to manage alternative technological routes, limited available machines, unrelated processing times, sequence dependent setup times, in addition jobs with different due dates and priorities. An extended flexible job shop scheduling model is defined to solve the resource allocation problems and to create the fine schedule of the execution of operations. The paper describes the most important characteristics of the analysed problem and shows the main approach of the developed multi-objective reactive solving method.
