This paper deals with an assembly job shop scheduling problem considering two phases of control: order review/release (ORR) and dispatching rules. Dispatching rules have been intensively used in earlier job shop research. Such rules determine the processing sequence of jobs waiting in the queues of corresponding machines. In recent years, ORR emerges as another option for job shop control and has received increasing attention. Such control determines when to release jobs to the shop floor. Different ORR mechanisms have been devised and are reported to bring several advantages such as reduced inventory cost of early finished orders, controlled and balanced shop load levels and shorter order flow time. Previous studies on ORR often assume a simplified job shop without assembly operations, while this research applies ORR to an assembly job shop. The aim of this research is to evaluate the ability of different combinations of ORR-dispatching rules in optimising due date and flow time related performance measu...read more

A Hybrid Cooperative Coevolution Algorithm for Fuzzy Flexible Job Shop Scheduling
TL;DR: This paper proposes an effective hybrid cooperative coevolution algorithm (hCEA) for the minimization of fuzzy makespan, which is named fuzzy flexible job shop scheduling because it performs better than the existing methods from the literature.

Order review and release strategies ina job shop environment: A review and a classification
TL;DR: In this paper, a review and a classification framework of the main research work carried out to date is introduced. And the classification of selected models from the specialised literature by means of the proposed framework provides a better understanding for the practitioners and, on the other hand, aims to indicate to researchers the most promising research paths.

TL;DR: In this paper, a simulation study indicates that the relative performance of the traditional workload control methods changes completely with for instance the presence or absence of a dominant flow direction in the shop.

Minimizing mean absolute deviation of completion times about a common due date.
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors consider a single machine scheduling problem in which the objective is to minimize the mean absolute deviation of job completion times about a common due date and present an algorithm for determining multiple optimal schedules under restrictive assumptions about the due date, and an implicit enumeration procedure when the assumptions do not hold.

Workload control concepts in job shops A critical assessment
Martin Land,Gerard Gaalman +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compare and discuss the concepts of WLC and expose the assumptions of stationarity implied in the workload norms, which make demands upon the job release function, and provide guidelines for developing production control concepts for job shops working under dynamic circumstances.
