Abstract

A Scheduling Algorithm with Temporal Constraint Propagation (STCP) is proposed to solve the generalized job shop scheduling problem. STCP propagates the precedence constraints and machine interference constraints to reduce the search space of the active schedules. Further, by making use of the temporal nature of the job shop scheduling, efficient algorithms to propagate precedence constraints and machine interference constraints are developed. Experimental results reveal that constraint propagation significantly reduces the computation time for scheduling. Further, the proposed temporal constraint propagation algorithms provide an order of magnitude improvement on the computation time over the conventional constraint propagation algorithm.
