The need for reusability and modularity leads us to build a "generic" optimisation and simulation framework, while the need to quickly generate good compromises between conflicting objectives requires the implementation of multicriteria scheduling models. This paper describes the practical possibilities of three hybrid models within this framework. The validation of the framework is presented in terms of its application to a real, highly constrained, discrete-continuous problem. The optimisation model is based on the hybridisation of a classical hill-climber meta-heuristic with the Promethee II multicriteria method.

Their functionality coverage has changed significantly and can now provide a common and single system to support most of the manufacturing execution processes from the production order release to the delivery of finished

The shopfloor under consideration has a certain number of centers arranged in a serial way, each composed of a group of machines working in parallel. We first present the general planning problem modeled as multi-level, parallel processors, multi-item, capacitated, lot-sizing problem

The production facility consists of multiple identical production lines and each production line includes a number of serially arranged machines. The production is characterized by semi-ordered processing times in each product family, and the last machine in each production line is a bottleneck machine. Significant changeover times are

We point out that the different steps of modeling, simulating, and optimizing uses the same integrated formalism and environment. A major point of this methodology and tool is the original decision-making mechanism over a hierarchy of complex discrete systems that model the real world. For the SISMO platform to be validated, we applied it to an actual highly constrained discrete-continuous scheduling problem. This study on a real-life problem has systematically led to improvements.

This strategy suggests new items to perform replacements at failure. Preventive replacements, scheduled at instants kT (k=1, 2,…) are carried out only if the item's age exceeds a threshold to be determined. Parameters T and b are derived from an optimization model aiming to maximize the steady state

The supplier and the transformation stage are both subject to random events. Moreover, due to the periods of unavailability of the supplier, a random delay could postpone the reception of the order. Our objective is to find a control policy for the supply and production activities that minimizes the incurred cost and to propose a practical approach aiming to evaluate and quantify the control policy. Stochastic dynamic programming and numerical methods combined to a simulation based approach are thus proposed to achieve a close approximation of the production and supply policy. To illustrate the usefulness of the combined approach extensions to cover more complex systems, were optimal control theory may not be easily used, are developed and analyzed. To illustrate the practical usefulness of the approach, an application aiming to develop a quantitative tool to help establishing and negotiating order costs is presented.

We study the non regular objective of minimizing the earliness-tardiness cost, which is consistent with the just-in-time environment, when processing times and the common due date are known in advance. This problem is known to be NP-hard, so we propose a heuristic that do well for small restrictive due date compared to existing benchmarks. In addition to present methods for solving this classical problem, we discuss also the problem with periodic preventive maintenance and present a mixed integer linear program to solve it to optimality

It is said that RFID tags will provide real time tracking of every item in the supply chain, providing end to end visibility and therefore total control over the supply chain.

This difficulty increases when they have to take conflicting objectives into account. A recent review of the literature shows that previous works consider repairable systems subject to random failures and analyse trade-offs between the costs and the benefits of maintenance activities.

Design/methodology/approach – The proposed integrated policy is defined and a simulation model is developed to investigate it. Findings – The paper focuses on finding simultaneously two decision variables: the period (T) at which preventive maintenance actions have to be performed; and the sequence of jobs (S). These values minimize the maintenance costs (MC) and the expected total earliness and tardiness costs (ETC) away from a common due-date D. Practical implications – The paper attempts to integrate in a single model the two main aspects of any manufacturing and production systems: production and maintenance. It focuses on a stochastic scheduling problem in which n immediately available jobs are to be scheduled jointly with the preventive maintenance. The effect of the period (T) and the sequence of job (S) on the expected total cost are shown through a numerical example. Originality/value – The paper proposes an integrated model that links production, preventive maintenance and corrective maintenance. It is simultaneously focusing on the period (T) at which preventive maintenance actions have to be performed and the sequence of jobs (S) to reduce production and maintenance-related costs.
