Abstract

This paper presents a scheduling algorithm applied to a circular manufacture assembly with redundant facilities. The task is to switch on and off facilities in a manner that minimizes job failure cost and job flow time for a given job production order. The dynamic nature of the scheduling problem is dictated by the aging of the facilities. An example is given to show how our scheduling algorithm results in different system reliability, failure cost and job flow time under differently weighed cost functionals.
