X Abstract

A new approach is described for solving the scheduling problem when machine failure is involved and the environment is customer oriented. The cellular manufacturing system considered is comprised of non-redundant conventional machines whose capabilities may overlap in terms of operation performance. The model developed considers the contribution of each machine in the system to determine re-schedulability when a machine fails. One of the major criteria for rescheduling is the maximum allowable idle time (MTm) of a given machine, which is based on the maximum capacity of the most heavily loaded machine among all the machines used to produce a product. Testing of the model over a range of scheduling horizons and with different scheduling rules showed that this approach can provide effective dynamic rescheduling under machine failure conditions.

CiteULike organises scholarly (or academic) papers or literature and provides bibliographic (which means it makes bibliographies) for universities and higher education establishments. It helps undergraduates and postgraduates. People studying for PhDs or in postdoctoral (postdoc) positions. The service is similar in scope to EndNote or RefWorks or any other reference manager like BibTeX, but it is a social bookmarking service for scientists and humanities researchers.
