Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to study the effect of selected scheduling dispatching rules on the performance of an actual CIM system using different performance measures and to compare the results with the literature. Design/methodology/approach: To achieve this objective, a computer...

In this paper we consider the problem of integrated scheduling of various types of handling equipment at an automated container terminal in a dynamic environment. This means that the handling times are not known exactly beforehand and that the order in which the different pieces of equipment...

This paper investigates a scheduling problem of non-identical parallel batch processing machines (PBPMs) with job release times and non-identical job sizes, in which jobs come from compatible product families, to minimise the total weighted tardiness (TWT). Only a few studies on PBPM problems...

Heuristics based on dispatching rules are still widely used in practice as methods for effective scheduling systems. Despite the successful development of various novel dispatching rules for traditional job shop scheduling environments, nearly none of these has been applied to cellular...

In this paper, we consider the single machine scheduling problem with linear earliness and quadratic tardiness costs, and no machine idle time. We propose several dispatching heuristics, and analyse their performance on a wide range of instances. The heuristics include simple scheduling rules,...

This paper addresses the parameter modelling and optimisation issues in the application of a bio-inspired model for the scheduling of dynamic flexible job shop with sequence-dependent setups. The study sets the model parameters using two steps, termed mapping and tuning. Mapping establishes a...
