Description
Summary:碩士 === 國立清華大學 === 工業工程研究所 === 84 === In this paper, we propose several heuristics to schedule independent jobs in unrelated parallel machine systems. We limit our scope to the static and deterministic problem. The system we investigate consists of several different types of machines, and machines of different types are unrelated and machines of the same type are identical. Both the total lateness and total tardiness problem in this thesis are formulated into mathematical programming models. Nevertheless, an optimal solution may not be available; and in practice, all that is required may be just a near-optimal solution. The proposed heuristics contain two phases: The first phase is to allocate jobs onto machines or subsystems. The second phase is to sequence the jobs on each machine or in each subsystem. The first phase consists of two stages: the constructing stage and the allocating stage. The constructing stage is to construct an initial job list which is used as reference to allocate jobs. The allocating stage is to allocate jobs onto machines or subsystems by balancing machine workload or by the criterion taking performacne measure directly into account. The second stage is composed of the sequencing stage which determine the final processing order of jobs on each machine. For the total lateness problem, the SPT rule is adopted to determine the final job sequence; for the total tardiness problem, the TPI rule is adopted in this stage.
