Beam search based algorithm for scheduling machines and AGVs in an FMS
(Institute for Industrial Engineers, 1993)This paper presents a beam search based scheduling algorithm for a random FMS. The proposed algorithm considers finite buffer capacity, routing and sequence flexibilities and generates machine and AGV schedules in varying ... -
A beam search-based algorithm and evaluation of scheduling approaches for fexible manufacturing systems
(Taylor & Francis, 1998)This paper presents a new algorithm for the flexible manufacturing system (FMS) scheduling problem. The proposed algorithm is a heuristic based on filtered beam search. It considers finite buffer capacity, routing and ... -
Evaluation of army corps artillery ammunition supply systems via simulation
(IEEE, 2002)The purpose of this paper is to discuss the evaluation of different alternatives for the implementation of Turkish army corps artillery ammunition supply system. The objective is to see whether the alternative systems ... -
Generating robust and stable schedules in a single machine environment
(IIE, 2004)Scheduling is a decision making process that concerns with allocation of limited resources (machines, material handling equipment, operators, tools, etc.) to competing tasks (operations of jobs) over time with the goal of ... -
Scheduling of automated guided vehicles in a decision making hierarchy
(Taylor & Francis, 1996)Scheduling efforts made without considering the special limitations of the material handling system might lead to infeasible results. An analytical model is proposed, first, to incorporate the automated guided vehicle (AGV) ...
