Transitory Control in Cyclic Job Shop Scheduling

Abstract

Consider a cyclic job shop scheduling and a corresponding steady state solution. Typical perturbations of this kind of system, like machine failures, lack of raw material etc., can affect the implementation of the steady state solution. This work is concerned with the determination of a control law i.e. the determination of the starting time of each operation in the subsequent cycles such that the steady state solution (reference solution) be reestablished and maintained.
