Green scheduling of a two-machine flowshop: Trade-off between makespan and energy consumption

A mixed-integer, non-linear model is developed for designing robust global supply chain networks under uncertainty. Six resilience strategies are proposed to mitigate the risk of correlated disruptions. In addition, an efficient parallel Taguchi-based memetic algorithm is developed that incorporates a customized hybrid parallel adaptive large neighborhood search. Fitness landscape analysis is used to determine an effective selection of neighborhood structures, while the upper bound found by Lagrangian relaxation heuristic is used to evaluate quality of solutions and effectiveness of the proposed metaheuristic. The model is solved for a real-life case of a global medical device manufacturer to extract managerial insights.

Robust global supply chain network design under disruption and uncertainty considering resilience strategies: A parallel memetic algorithm for a real-life case study

This paper reviews the literature related to the class of scheduling problems that involve sequence-dependent setup times (costs), an important consideration in many practical applications. It focuses on papers published within the last decade, addressing a variety of machine configurations including single machine, parallel machine, flow shop, and job shop systems and reviews the optimization and heuristic solution methods used for each category. Since lot sizing is so intimately related to scheduling, this paper reviews work that integrates these issues in relationship to each configuration. This paper provides a perspective of this line of research, gives conclusions, and discusses fertile research opportunities posed by this class of scheduling problems.

Scheduling and lot sizing with sequence-dependent setup: A literature review

Although NAFTA has encouraged U.S.-based companies to locate assembly operations in Mexico, no widely-accepted tools provide decision support for the strategic design of an assembly system in this international environment. This paper provides such a decision support aid. The problem is to design an assembly system by prescribing facilities, including the location, technologies to be employed and capacity of each. Strategic aspects of the supporting supply chain are designed by selecting suppliers; locating distribution centers; planning transportation modes; and allocating target levels for production, assembly and distribution. The objective is to maximize after-tax profits. A mixed integer programming model is presented that represents the complexities of the international design problem as well as relevant enterprise-wide decisions in the US-Mexico business environment under NAFTA. It deals with a broad set of design issues (e.g., bill-of-material restrictions, international financial considerations, and material flow through the entire supply chain) using effective modeling devices. Several cases are investigated to demonstrate how managers might apply the model as a decision support aid. The examples show that the model can be successfully used to evaluate a variety of factors and analyze a number of tradeoffs related to the design of international assembly systems and supply chains.
