“…As in the case of Flexible Manufacturing Systems and similarly in the case described in this paper, there is a need for scheduling operations, resources and tools jointly. In this context, heuristic, adaptive genetic and simulating annealing algorithms, seem very capable in terms of performance and time efficiency [40][41][42].…”

“…The FMC overall performance can be enhanced by the combined scheduling by taking the secondary resources like tools and fixtures into account. Prabaharan et al (2006) attempted on combined operation and tool scheduling problem in FMC which consists of a CTM and 'm' identical work cells. They proposed simulated annealing algorithm to minimise makespan for this problem.…”

This paper addresses simultaneous scheduling of jobs, machines and tools considering tool transfer times (TTTs) between machines, to generate best optimal sequences that minimise makespan in a multi-machine flexible manufacturing system (FMS). Performance of FMS is expected to improve by effective utilisation of its resources, by proper integration and synchronisation of their scheduling. Aim of this paper is to address joint scheduling of jobs, machine and tools in an FMS consisting of machines, central tool magazine and tool transporter considering TTTs. Three nature-inspired algorithms namely Symbiotic Organisms Search algorithm, Crow search algorithm and Flower pollination algorithm, are proposed for solving joint jobs, machine and tool scheduling problems considering TTTs between machines with minimum makespan as objective. The proposed algorithms are numerically tested on various problems and results are compared. The results show that FPA algorithm yields better results for simultaneous scheduling of jobs, machines and tools considering TTTs between machines.Keywords: flexible manufacturing systems; simultaneous scheduling of jobs; tools and machines; tool transporter; symbiotic organisms search algorithm; crow search algorithm; flower pollination algorithm.Reference to this paper should be made as follows: Sivarami Reddy, N., Ramamurthy, D.V. and Prahlada Rao, K.

“…They have also found that the shop performance can also be affected by fixtures. The research on Prabaharan, Nakkeeran, and Jawahar (2006) focused on the joint operation tool scheduling problem in a FMC consisting of 'm' number of identical work cells and a CTM. Priority dispatching rules algorithm and simulated annealing algorithm were proposed to minimise makespan for joint job and tool scheduling.…”

This article deals with simultaneous scheduling of machines and tools in a multimachine flexible manufacturing system to generate best optimal sequences that minimise makespan. As flexible manufacturing system (FMS) is an integrated manufacturing facility, simultaneous scheduling of different components of FMS is essential. In this research work, attempts have been made to integrate machines and tools. The aim of this article is to address combined machine and tool scheduling in a FMS consisting of machines and a central tool magazine. Four heuristics, priority dispatching rules, modified nondelay schedule generation algorithm with six different priority dispatching rules, modified Giffler and Thompson algorithm and artificial immune system (AIS) algorithm, have been proposed for solving combined machine and tool problems with makespan as objective. The proposed heuristics are numerically tested on various problems and the results are compared. The result shows that AIS algorithm yields better results for simultaneous scheduling of machines and tools.
