Sequencing Algorithms for multiple machines • Assume that njobs are to be processed through mmachines. • The number of possible schedule is staggering, even for moderate values of both n and m. • For each machine there are n! different ordering of the jobs. • If the jobs may be processed on the machines in any order, it follows that there are (n!)mpossible schedules. • For example, for n=5 and m=5, there are 24,833x1010 , possible schedules.

Extension to three machines • The problem of scheduling jobs on three machines is considerably more complex. • The three machine problem can be reduced to a two machine problem if the following condition is satisfied: • Label the machines A, B and C • Ai = Processing time of job i on machine A. (Bi ,Ci are defined as similar) • minAi≥ max Bior min Ci≥ max Bi • Define Ai‘ = Ai+ Biand define Bi‘ = Bi+ Ci
Example 8.5 minAi= 4 max Bi = 6 min Ci= 6 Check the conditions minAi≥ max Bior min Ci≥ max Bi Required condition is satisfied. What is the optimal job sequence ? 1 4 5 2 3
The two-shop Flow shop problem • Assume that two jobs are to be processed through m machines. • Each job must be processed by the machines in a particular order, but sequences for the two jobs need not to be the same. • A graphical procedure for solving this problem is developed by Aker (1954)
Aker’s Algorithm • Draw a Cartesian coordinate system. • Processing times for first job on the horizontal axis • Processing times for second job on the vertical axis • On each axis, mark off the operation times in the order in which the operations must be performed for that job. • Block out areas corresponding to each machine at the intersection of the intervals marked for that machine on the two axis. • Determine a path from origin to the end of final block that does not intersect any of the blocks and that minimizes the vertical movement.
