This paper presents a dissimilarity maximization method (DMM) for real-time routing selection and compares it via simulation with typical priority rules commonly used in scheduling and control of flexible manufacturing systems (FMSs). DMM aims to reduce the congestion in the system by selecting a routing for each part among its alternative routings such that the overall dissimilarity among the selected routings is maximized. In order to evaluate the performance of DMM, a random FMS, where the product mix is not known prior to production and off-line scheduling is not possible, is selected for the simulation study. A software environment that consists of a computer simulation model, which mimics a physical system, a C++ module, and a linear program solver is used to implement the DMM concept. In addition to DMM, the simulation study uses two priority rules for routing (i.e., machine) selection and seven priority rules for selecting parts awaiting service at machine buffers. The results show (1) DMM outperforms the other two routing selection rules on production rate regardless of the part selection rule used, and (2) its performance is highly dependent on the part selection rules it is combined with.

Scheduling parallel machines to minimize weighted flowtime with family set-up times Azizoğlu, Meral (Informa UK Limited, 2003-01-01) We describe and evaluate several branch-and-bound algorithms for an identical parallel machine scheduling problem with family set-up times and an objective of minimizing total weighted flowtime. The algorithms differ by choice of lower bound method. Computational results suggest conditions favourable to a particular algorithm as well as the range of problem sizes that can be optimally solved in reasonable CPU time.
Reassessing tradeoffs inherent to simultaneous maintenance and production planning Batun, Sakine (Wiley, 2012-03-01) Previous work has considered the simultaneous (as opposed to sequential) optimization of a maintenance policy and a production policy in a multi-product setting with random yield and product mix constraints. One of the sequential approaches to which the simultaneous approach is compared is a so-called first-come-first-served (FCFS) approach, i.e., an approach that generates randomized production policies that do not depend on the deterioration state of the machine. However, the model formulation for this ap...
Flow shop-sequencing problem with synchronous transfers and makespan minimization Soylu, B.; Kirca, Ou; Azizoğlu, Meral (Informa UK Limited, 2007-01-01) This study considers a permutation flow shop-sequencing problem with synchronous transfers between stations. The objective is to minimize the makespan. It is shown that the problem is strongly NP-hard. A branch-and-bound algorithm together with several lower and upper bounding procedures are developed. The algorithm returns optimal solutions to moderate-sized problem instances in reasonable solution times.
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...
Neural network calibrated stochastic processes: forecasting financial assets Giebel, Stefan; Rainer, Martin (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2013-03-01) If a given dynamical process contains an inherently unpredictable component, it may be modeled as a stochastic process. Typical examples from financial markets are the dynamics of prices (e.g. prices of stocks or commodities) or fundamental rates (exchange rates etc.). The unknown future value of the corresponding stochastic process is usually estimated as the expected value under a suitable measure, which may be determined from distribution of past (historical) values. The predictive power of this estimati...
