Determining the best process plan and route for each part is one of the main problems in dynamic stochastic systems. Therefore, multiple process plans are considered for each operation of each part (machine flexibility and/or part routing) and alternative operations (operation flexibility) simultaneously. In this paper, Optimization via Simulation (OvS) is utilized to plan the processes and route the parts in a dynamic stochastic flexible job-shop environment (DSFJS). Genetic algorithm (GA) which is envisaged to be the optimization component of OvS mechanism is integrated with the simulation model of the production system. A four-factor full factorial design is used to analyse the effect of main factors' and factor interactions' effects on the total of average flowtimes of each part performance of the shop. The design includes the flexibility level of the shop, number of parts, number of operations, and number of alternative process plans. Finally, the main findings of cases are summarized in the study.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
