When the processing times of jobs are controllable, selected processing times affect both the manufacturing cost and the scheduling performance. A well-known example for such a case that this paper specifically deals with is the turning operation on a CNC machine. Manufacturing cost of a turning operation is a nonlinear convex function of its processing time. We also know that scheduling decisions are quite sensitive to the processing times. Therefore, this paper considers minimizing total manufacturing cost (F-1) and total completion time (F-2) objectives simultaneously on identical parallel CNC turning machines. Since decreasing processing time of a job increases its manufacturing cost, we cannot minimize both objectives at the same time, so the problem is to generate non-dominated solutions. We consider the problem of minimizing F-1 subject to a given F2 level and give an effective formulation for the problem. For this problem, we prove some optimality properties which facilitated designing an efficient heuristic algorithm to generate approximate non-dominated solutions. Computational results show that proposed algorithm performs almost equal with the GAMS/MINOS commercial solver although it spends much less computation time.

Optimal allocation and processing time decisions on non-identical parallel CNC machines: epsilon-constraint approach Gürel, Sinan (Elsevier BV, 2007-12-01) When the processing times of jobs are controllable, selected processing times affect both the manufacturing cost and the scheduling performance. A well known example for such a case that this paper specifically deals with is the turning operation on a CNC machine. Manufacturing cost of a turning operation is a nonlinear convex function of its processing time. In this paper, we deal with making optimal machine-job assignments and processing time decisions so as to minimize total manufacturing cost while the ...
Operational fixed job scheduling problem under spread time constraints: a branch-and-price algorithm Solyali, O.; Ozpeynirci, O. (Informa UK Limited, 2009-01-01) This study addresses the operational fixed job scheduling problem under spread time constraints. The problem is to select a subset of jobs having fixed ready times and deadlines for processing on identical parallel machines such that total weight of the selected jobs is maximised. We first give a mathematical formulation of the problem and then reformulate it using Dantzig-Wolfe decomposition. We propose a branch-and-price algorithm that works on the reformulation of the problem. Computational results show ...
Considering manufacturing cost and scheduling performance on a CNC turning machine Gürel, Sinan (Elsevier BV, 2007-02-16) A well known industry application that allows controllable processing times is the manufacturing operations on CNC machines. For each turning operation as an example, there is a nonlinear relationship between the manufacturing cost and its required processing time on a CNC turning machine. If we consider total manufacturing cost (F-1) and total weighted completion time (F-2) objectives simultaneously on a single CNC machine, making appropriate processing time decisions is as critical as making job sequencin...
Due date and cost-based FMS loading, scheduling and tool management Turkcan, Ayten; Akturk, M. Selim; Storer, Robert H. (Informa UK Limited, 2007-03-01) In this study, we consider flexible manufacturing system loading, scheduling and tool management problems simultaneously. Our aim is to determine relevant tool management decisions, which are machining conditions selection and tool allocation, and to load and schedule parts on non-identical parallel CNC machines. The dual objectives are minimization of the manufacturing cost and total weighted tardiness. The manufacturing cost is comprised of machining and tooling costs (which are affected by machining cond...
SCHEDULING UNDER A NONRENEWABLE RESOURCE CONSTRAINT TOKER, A; KONDAKCI, S; ERKIP, N (Informa UK Limited, 1991-09-01) This paper examines a single-machine, non-renewable-resource-constrained scheduling problem where jobs have arbitary processing times and resource requirements. Unit supply of a resource is assumed at each time period. Performance criterion is makespan. It is proved that this problem is identical to the two-machine flowshop problem, enabling the use of Johnson's algorithm. Immediate extensions of this result are presented.
