Research on construction and application for the model of multistage job shop scheduling problem (Q782293)

Summary: Based on the practical application of an enterprise, we address the multistage job shop scheduling problem with several parallel machines in the first stage (production), a few parallel machines in the second stage (processing and assembly), and one machine in the following stages (including joint debugging, testing, inspection, and packaging). First, we establish the optimization objective model for the first two stages. Then, based on the design of the sequencing algorithm in the first two stages, a correction algorithm is designed between the first stage and the second stage to solve this problem systematically. Finally, we propose two benchmark approaches to verify the performance of our proposed algorithm. Verification of numerical experiments shows that the model and algorithm constructed in this paper effectively improve the production efficiency of the enterprise.
