A General State-Space Formulation for Online Scheduling
2017
Dhruv Gupta | Christos Maravelias
We present a generalized state-space model formulation particularly motivated by an online scheduling perspective, which allows modeling (1) task-delays and unit breakdowns: (2) fractional delays and unit downtimes, when using discrete-time grid: (3) variable batch-sizes: (4) robust scheduling through the use of conservative yield estimates and processing times: (5) feedback on task-yield estimates before the task finishes: (6) task termination during its execution: (7) post-production storage of material in unit: and (8) unit capacity degradation and maintenance. Through these proposed generalizations, we enable a natural way to handle routinely encountered disturbances and a rich set of corresponding counter-decisions. Thereby, greatly simplifying and extending the possible application of mathematical programming based online scheduling solutions to diverse application settings. Finally, we demonstrate the effectiveness of this model on a case study from the field of bio-manufacturing.
