Optimization of Production Scheduling Through a Multi-Objective Constrained Greedy Model
Journal Title: Journal of Intelligent Management Decision - Year 2024, Vol 3, Issue 3
Abstract
The traditional manufacturing sector in China is increasingly challenged by rising labour costs and the diminishing demographic advantage. These issues exacerbate existing inefficiencies, such as limited value addition, high resource consumption, prolonged production cycles, inconsistent product quality, and inadequate automation. To address these challenges, a production scheduling framework is proposed, guided by three key objectives: the prioritisation of high-value orders, the reduction of total processing time, and the earliest possible completion of all orders. This study introduces a multi-objective constrained greedy model designed to optimise scheduling by balancing these objectives through maximum weight allocation, shortest processing time selection, and adherence to the earliest deadlines. The proposed approach incorporates comprehensive reward and penalty factors to account for deviations in performance, thus fostering a balance between operational efficiency and product quality. By implementing the optimised scheduling strategy, it is anticipated that significant improvements will be achieved in production efficiency, workforce motivation, product quality, and organisational reputation. The enhanced operational outcomes are expected to strengthen the core competitiveness of enterprises, particularly within the increasingly complex landscape of pull production systems. This research offers valuable insights for manufacturers seeking to transition towards more efficient, automated, and customer-centric production models, addressing both short-term operational challenges and long-term strategic objectives.
