Simultaneous Scheduling o Machines ad Operators in a Multi-Resource Coinstrained Job-Shop Scenario

Authors:   Lorenzo Tiacci, Stefano Saetta

Abstract

In the paper the simultaneous scheduling of different types of resources is considered. The scenario is constrained by machines and human resources, and its complexity is increased by the presence of two types of human resources, namely the equipper, that performs only an initial action of each task (the ?setup?), and the normal operator, that loads and unloads each piece from machines. A conceptual model of the shop is build in order to simultaneously handle priority rules for each one of the three types of resources considered (machine, equipper and operator). A simulation model has been implemented and a simulation experiment performed in order to explore the effect on mean flow factor reduction of different combination of priority rules.
