Description
Summary:碩士 === 明志科技大學 === 工業工程與管理研究所 === 101 === A flexible production scheduling in the assembly line is helpful for meeting the production demands and reducing the production costs. This research considers the problem of scheduling multiple products on a single assembly line when multiple objectives exist. The specific objectives are to reduce the production changeovers and minimize overtime cost with the restrictions on production demands, due dates, and limited testing space. This system model derives from a real case of a company producing point of sale systems and a mixed integer programming model is developed. Different sets of weights that represent the priorities of specific objectives are applied to the model. By manipulating and adjusting these weights, it is capable to generate the desired production schedule that satisfies production managers' need. An example has been solved for illustrating the method. The results show that the weighting approach is practicable and can provide valuable information for aggregate planning.
