Abstract

In production planning and scheduling, data mining methods can be applied to transform the scheduling data into useful knowledge that can be used to improve planning/scheduling by enabling real-time decision-making. In this paper, a novel approach combining dispatching rules, a genetic algorithm, data mining, and simulation is proposed. The genetic algorithm (i) is used to solve scheduling problems, and the obtained solutions (ii) are analyzed in order to extract knowledge, which is then used (iii) to automatically assign in real-time different dispatching rules to machines based on the jobs in their respective queues. The experiments are conducted on a job shop scheduling problem with a makespan criterion. The obtained results from the computational study show that the proposed approach is a viable and effective approach for solving the job shop scheduling problem in real time.
