Application of two complementary sequencing rules to control the job shop by switching

This research presents two switching techniques using SOT and SLACK, as complementary sequencing rules, to show that they are practical procedures to control a job shop. These two approaches are:

Static switching of the complementary rules.
Dynamic switching of the complementary rules.

This study also presents questions which arise in creating different switching rules or procedures for an interactive scheduling system.

It is also developed a normalized objective function to measure the balance of the best properties produced by SOT (low flow time) and SLACK (low tardiness). It should be noted that even though such a system could be viewed as complex and expensive,it is not. Computational requirement will be slightly increased, but no more data is required than is expected for a typical scheduling procedure.

Finally, a procedure to calculate the upper and lower limits is presented for dynamic switching procedures. / Master of Science
