In this study, we address a part-type sequencing and tool switching problem arising in Flexible Manufacturing Systems. We consider the single machine problem of minimizing the number of tool switching instants. We propose two tabu search approaches to find high-quality solutions. Our computational results reveal that both tabu search approaches produce optimal or near-optimal solutions in reasonable times.

Minimizing total flow time on a single flexible machine Karakayali, Ibrahim; Azizoğlu, Meral (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2006-03-01) In this study, we address a job sequencing and tool switching problem arising in flexible manufacturing systems. We consider the single machine problem of minimizing total flow time. We prove that the problem is NP-hard in the strong sense and show that the tool switching problem is polynomially solvable for a given sequence.
Analysis of an inventory system under supply uncertainty Gullu, R; Onol, E; Erkip, N (Elsevier BV, 1999-03-20) In this paper, we analyze a periodic review, single-item inventory model under supply uncertainty. The objective is to minimize expected holding and backorder costs over a finite planning horizon under the supply constraints. The uncertainty in supply is modeled using a three-point probability mass function. The supply is either completely available, partially available, or the supply is unavailable. Machine breakdowns, shortages in the capacity of the supplier, strikes, etc., are possible causes of uncerta...
Capacity allocation problem in flexible manufacturing systems: branch and bound based approaches ÖZPEYNİRCİ, SELİN; Azizoğlu, Meral (Informa UK Limited, 2009-01-01) This study considers an operation assignment and capacity allocation problem that arises in flexible manufacturing systems. The machines have limited time and tool magazine capacities and the available tools are limited. Our objective is to maximise total weight of assigned operations. We develop a branch and bound algorithm that finds the optimal solutions and a beam search algorithm that finds high quality solutions in polynomial time.
The tools transporter movements problem in flexible manufacturing sysems Kılınç, Fatma; Azizoğlu, Meral; Department of Industrial Engineering (2005) In this study, we address job sequencing and tool switching problem arising in Flexible Manufacturing Systems. We consider a single machine with limited tool slots on its tool magazine. The available tool slots cannot accommodate all the tools required by all jobs, therefore tool switches between jobs are required. A single tool transporter with limited capacity is used in transporting the tools from the storage area to the machine. Our aim is to minimize the number of tool transporter movements. We provide...
Operational fixed interval scheduling problem on uniform parallel machines Bekki, Oezguen Baris; Azizoğlu, Meral (Elsevier BV, 2008-04-01) In this study, we address an operational fixed interval scheduling problem on uniform parallel machines. Our objective is to maximize the total weight of the jobs processed. We show that the problem is NP-hard in the strong sense and develop polynomial time algorithms for some special cases. We propose a branch and bound algorithm that employs dominance conditions and tight bounds. The results of our computational tests have revealed that the algorithm returns optimal solutions for problem instances with up...
