Scheduling Theory Algorithms And Systems Solution Manual
Hilma Klingaman
The sixth edition provides expanded Discussion and Comments and References sections at the end of each chapter, creating a spotlight on practical applications of the theory presented in that chapter. New topics include rules for stochastic parallel machine scheduling and for stochastic online scheduling, models of flow shops with reentry, fixed parameter tractability, and new designs and implementations of scheduling systems.
The main structure of the book as per previous edition consists of three parts. The first part focuses on deterministic scheduling and the related combinatorial problems. The second part covers probabilistic scheduling models; in this part it is assumed that processing times and other problem data are random and not known in advance. The third part deals with scheduling in practice; it covers heuristics that are popular with practitioners and discusses system design and implementation issues. All three parts of this new edition have been revamped and streamlined and the references have been made up-to-date.
Theoreticians and practitioners alike will find this book of interest. Graduate students in operations management, operations research, industrial engineering, and computer science will find the book an accessible and invaluable resource. Scheduling - Theory, Algorithms, and Systems will serve as an essential reference for professionals working on scheduling problems in manufacturing, services, and other environments.
To pursue excellence and national prominence in the areas of manufacturing, operations research, information technology and related fields of industrial and systems engineering through innovative teaching, distinguished research and scholarship, and active professional leadership. Building on its unique strength and national reputation in undergraduate education and industrial research, the department strives for leadership in educational innovation, multidisciplinary research, and industrial partnership. Our ultimate mission is to produce leaders who have learned to think critically and analytically, have the skills and techniques to comprehend and create new knowledge, and are willing to serve and inspire others.
The industrial and systems engineering department is located in the Harold S. Mohler Laboratory at 200 West Packer Avenue at the northwest corner of the Lehigh University Asa Packer campus. The Mohler Lab building contains the classrooms, laboratories, and faculty offices of the department. Labs in the Mohler Laboratory building include:
Computational Optimization Research @ Lehigh (COR@L) Lab. The COR@L lab consists of high performance computer workstations, each equipped with state-of-the-art commercial and noncommercial software for large-scale numerical optimization. COR@L is used for both research and instruction.
Enterprise Systems Center Laboratories. The ESC Laboratories contain a variety of computer systems and software in support of agility in Computer Integrated Manufacturing (CIM) and in engineering logistics and distribution problem solving, including: Computer Aided Design (CAD) and Engineering (CAE), discrete event simulation, linear and nonlinear optimization, Finite Element Analysis (FEA), facilities design, process design, process control, and analytics software, such as the SAS software suite.
Manufacturing Technology Laboratory (MTL). The MTL contains equipment for instruction and research in manufacturing processes, numerical control (NC), NC part programming, material handling and storage, industrial control systems, and metrology.
Automation and Robotics Laboratory. This lab is located in the MTL, it contains a variety of industrial robots and other automated systems to provide students with hands-on experience in the planning and use of this kind of equipment.
Work Systems Laboratory. This classroom/laboratory affords the opportunity for undergraduate students to analyze and plan human work activities for individual workstations and worker team situations. A full scale manual assembly line is available for study.
ISE Computer Laboratories. Considerable use is made of university computer facilities in ISE coursework. ISE/computing center PC laboratories containing 38 and 16 PCs, respectively, are located in the Mohler Laboratory building.
ISE graduates are sought by nearly all industrial corporations as well as government agencies and other service institutions. Major employers of our graduates include management consulting firms, manufacturing companies, banks, hospitals, railroads, the postal service, and transportation/logistics services. A typical career path of an industrial and systems engineer is to start in an entry level engineering position or as a technical analyst and to progress through various management positions in the firm or institution. Significant numbers of industrial and systems engineers ultimately become chief executive officers, chief operating officers, and chief technology officers in their respective organizations.
The discipline of industrial & systems engineering is applicable in nearly all industries, whether the industry involves manufacturing of a product or delivery of a service. Job functions performed by ISEs include: systems analysis, cost estimation, capital equipment selection, engineering economy, facilities planning, production planning and scheduling, inventory control, quality control, project management, operations management, engineering management, as well as methods analysis and work measurement. Manufacturing systems engineering (MSE) is a specialty field associated with industrial and systems engineering that emphasizes functions and technologies such as process planning, plant layout design, manufacturing resource planning, production management, production line design, automation, robotics, flexible manufacturing systems, and computer integrated manufacturing.
The Industrial & Systems Engineering program can also produce graduates who understand the complex facets of modern information systems, and the integration of these systems in industrial, service and financial organizations. The ISE student has an opportunity to focus on three important areas that are key to a successful information systems-oriented career. (1) Information Economics, (2) Quantitative Systems Analysis, and (3) Information Technology. These areas are coupled with general engineering and business background courses. Information economics studies the formulation, structure, and operational dynamics of information-centric systems in the context of industrial organizations, service sector economics, and financial institutions. Quantitative systems analysis studies operations research and computational tools for analyzing complex systems and their information components. Information technology and applications studies computer and communication technologies needed to design and implement information system applications. Topic areas include the applications of information technology in manufacturing and business environments, including electronic commerce, supply chain and enterprise information systems, manufacturing information systems, and financial enterprises.
The ISE curriculum is designed to provide graduates with the skills and knowledge that employers expect of young industrial and systems engineers beginning their professional careers, and to instill the ability for lifetime learning. It includes the basic mathematical, physical, and social sciences, together with the principles and methods of engineering analysis and design that are specific to industrial and systems engineering. These principles and methods include probability and statistics, engineering economy, cost accounting, operations research, computer simulation, work methods and measurement, manufacturing processes, production and inventory control, and information technology.
In the junior year, an ISE student may elect to specialize more in production systems by choosing a course in modern manufacturing methods. Alternatively, a student may elect to specialize more in information systems by choosing a course in computer algorithm design. An ISE student must choose at least one of these courses, but may elect to choose both for a broader preparation for a career.
Specialized ISE electives in the senior year include: advanced optimization models, stochastic models, operations research, operations management, organization planning and control, statistical quality control, database design, web technologies, and data communications technologies. Electives related to manufacturing systems engineering include: industrial robotics, facilities planning and material handling, logistics and supply chain, and production engineering.
