Abstract

This paper addresses the problem of scheduling of a set of N jobs through M machines in a job shop environment that involves both machining and assembly operations. Each job is an assembly of component and subassembly parts. The problem is modeled as a mathematical program to obtain a minimum production time schedule. A heuristic algorithm is also developed for solving large size problems that may involve high computational time if an exact solution procedure is used.
