摘要
This paper deals with the concurrent solution of the loading and scheduling problems in a flexible manufacturing system (FMS) environment. It is assumed that the FMS environment has production planned periodically and each job in the system has a number of operations to be processed on flexible machines. A heuristic approach using a constructive scheduling method is developed to solve the FMS loading and scheduling problems concurrently. The computational results are compared to an existing procedure that considers a hierarchical approach with a similar problem environment. The comparison study shows a significant improvement over the existing hierarchical procedure. This experiment indicates that a concurrent solution approach can solve the FMS loading and scheduling problems very effectively.
