Evaluating Schedule Performance in Flexible Job-Shops

  • Chapter
Intelligent Sensory Evaluation

Abstract

In this paper, we are interested in the multi-objective evaluation of the schedule performance in the flexible job shops. The Flexible Job Shop Scheduling Problem (FJSP) is known in the literature as one of the hardest combinatorial optimization problems and presents many objectives to be optimized. In this way, we aim to determine a set of lower bounds for certain criteria which will be able to characterize the feasible solutions of such a problem. The studied criteria are the following: the makespan, the workload of the critical machine, and the total workload of all the machines. Our study relates to the determination of a practical method using fuzzy logic in order to evaluate the representative performance of the production system. The performance of such fuzzy evaluation is shown by applying an evolutionary algorithm and by comparing the values of the different solutions with the corresponding lower-bounds.
