WHAT THEY SAY ABOUT OUR PROGRAM?
Abstract:
In this seminar, we consider the problem of scheduling independent jobs on identical parallel machines with a single server to minimize the makespan. This important problem raises in flexible manufacturing systems, automated material handling, healthcare, and many other industrial fields, and has been little studied up to now. Mixed integer programming (MIP) formulations are proposed to solve optimally this problem. Each formulation reflects a specific concept on how the decision variables are defined. Moreover, we present valid inequalities that can be used to improve those formulations. A computational study is performed on benchmark instances from the literature to compare the proposed MIP formulations with other known formulations from the literature. It turns out that our proposed time-indexed variables formulation outperforms by far the other formulations. In addition, we present a very efficient MIP formulation to solve a particular case of the problem with a regular job set. This formulation is able to solve all regular instances for the case of 500 jobs and 5 machines in less than 5.27 min, where all other formulations are not able to produce a feasible solution within 1h.
Keywords: Scheduling, Scheduling with a single server, Parallel machines, Integer programming, valid inequalities.
