Abstract

A new concept of time decomposition which allows to combine linear programming and heuristics to solve the dynamic problem of job distribution on machine tools for a scheduling horizon is presented. An optimization algorithm based on this decomposition principle and which considers also the setup times is described. The application of the algorithm is demonstrated on a case of multiple-operation jobs processed according to the arrival and due date schedule, on machine tools grouped in sections according to operations. The results indicate, that the optimization based on the concept of time decomposition into constant job-mix stages. CMS, leads to increased utilization of machine tools, higher production rate in sections, with shorter makespan of individual jobs and reduced computational time.
