An Improved Scheduling Approach for Minimizing Total Energy Consumption and Makespan in a Flexible Job Shop Environment
Nowadays, manufacturing industry is under increasing pressure to save energy and reduce emissions, and thereby enhancing the energy efficiency of the machining system (MS) through operational methods on the system-level has attracted more attention. Energy-efficient scheduling (ES) has proved to be a typical measure suitable for all shop types, and an energy-efficient mechanism that a machine can be switched off and back on if it waits for a new job for a relatively long period is another proven effective energy-saving measure. Furthermore, their combination has been fully investigated in a single machine, flow shop and job shop, and the improvement in energy efficiency is significant compared with only applying ES for MS. However, whether such two energy-saving measures can be integrated in a flexible job shop environment is a gap in the existing study. To address this, a scheduling method applying an energy-efficient mechanism is proposed for a flexible job shop environment and the corresponding mathematical model, namely the energy-efficient flexible job shop scheduling (EFJSS) model, considering total production energy consumption (EC) and makespan is formulated. Besides, transportation as well as its impact on EC is taken into account in this model for practical application. Furthermore, a solution approach based on the non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm-II (NSGA-II) is adopted, which can avoid the interference of subjective factors and help select a suitable machine for each operation and undertake rational operation sequencing simultaneously. Moreover, experimental results confirm the validity of the improved energy-efficient scheduling approach in a flexible job shop environment and the effectiveness of the solution.
