A mixed-integer linear programming model is presented for the scheduling of flexible job shops, a production mode characteristic of make-to-order industries. Re-entrant process (multiple visits to the same machine group) and a final assembly stage are simultaneously considered in the model. The formulation uses a continuous time representation and optimises an objective function that is a weighted sum of order ...
In order to achieve sustainability, the design and planning of a supply chain has to fulfil economic, social and environmental objectives. Traditionally the design of supply chains has been based on economic objectives. As societal environment concerns grow, environmental aspects are also emerging, not only at the industry level, but also within the context of supply chain management. The investment towards log...
Green SC can be seen as logistic structures that guarantee production and global distribution of products in an environmental manner. To achieve this goal companies must invest on the optimal design and planning of their logistic structures, while accounting for the trade-off between profits and environmental impacts. This is addressed using a generic and uniform mathematical framework, the RTN. For this bi-lev...
Traditionally the design of supply chains has been based on economic objectives. As societal environment concerns grow, environmental aspects are also emerging, at the industry level, as decisive factors within the context of supply chain management. The investment towards logistics structures that consider both economic and environmental performance is nowadays an important research topic. However, much is sti...
This work studies the performance of two Mixed Integer Linear Programming (MILP) models to solve scheduling problems in a flexible job shop environment with recirculation and assembly using a due-date-based objective function. The models convey different approaches both in the modelling of time (discrete and continuous approaches) as well as in the assignment of jobs to machines. The comparison is carried out f...
Like most real-world problems, the design of multipurpose batch facilities involves multiple objectives. However the existing literature on the subject has been mainly centred on mono-criterion objectives (Barbosa-Povoa, 2007). Therefore, multi-objective optimisation is a modelling approach that requires further study when applied to such facilities. The best way to deal with various goals simultaneously is to ...
This paper proposes a new strategy for the optimal design of water-using networks in industrial systems featuring possibly more than a single water source and multiple contaminants. The model formulation is supported on a superstructure that exploits reuse opportunities and gives rise to a non-convex nonlinear which often leads to local optimal solutions. To overcome this, the new approach generates multiple in...
This paper addresses the optimal short-term scheduling of a three parallel production line plymer compounding plant, whose equipments require cleaning between product changeovers. A very effective user-friendly software tool was developed, which consists of a general scheduling model coupled with capabilities of Microsoft Excel for data handling and analysis. The scheduling model is based on a Resource Task Net...
