Green unrelated parallel machine scheduling problem under availability and energy constraints: a bi-objective approach
摘要
Efficient scheduling of unrelated parallel machines with energy considerations and maintenance constraints is crucial for reducing operational costs, improving sustainability, and enhancing productivity in modern manufacturing systems. Indeed, machines consume varying amounts of energy depending on their operational state, with idle machines requiring less energy than active ones. Additionally, energy consumption fluctuates based on the type of production job and the specific machine used. The optimization problem addressed in this study involves both time and energy considerations, aiming to optimize time-based scheduling efficiency and energy consumption. More formally, it aims to minimize two objectives: the first seeks to reduce earliness and tardiness in production and maintenance, while the second focuses on minimizing energy consumption. To achieve better decision-making by not prioritizing one criterion over another, but rather selecting a balanced solutions, a bi-objective resolution approach is employed. A Mixed Integer Linear Program (MILP) is formulated, utilizing the
