METHOD FOR SCHEDULIING HYBRID FLOW SHOP COMPRISING VARIABLE PARAMETER CONTINUOUS PROCESSING AND INTERMITTENT PROCESSING
PARAMETERS
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present disclosure relates to hybrid flow-shop scheduling techniques, in particular to a method for establishing a hybrid flow-shop scheduling model featuring continuous processing and intermittent processing with variable parameters, and belongs to the technical field of advanced manufacturing control and scheduling.
BACKGROUND
[0002] Hybrid Flow-shop Scheduling Problem (HFSP) is widely present in actual manufacturing shops. However, at present, most of the production processes are based on intermittent machining production process, in which a waiting time is set between two successive processing stages to realize the reasonable arrangement of a processing task. In addition to cold working process such as machining production process, a hot working process is commonly found among various kinds of cold working processes. Different from the intermittent cold working process, the hot working process is featured by forced continuous processing, for example two-stage processing procedure involving a heating by a heating furnace and a heat treatment, in which a workpiece heated by the heating furnace must be subjected to the heat treatment immediately and intermittently, to allow the workpiece to be heated at a required high temperature. At present, in a hybrid production process, such continuous processing procedures can only be performed individually in batches, resulting in low processing efficiency.
[0003] Further, in addition to the difficulties caused by a continuous processing such as heat treatment in production scheduling, individual batch processing mode can also solve the problem that the processing quality is difficult to control in a continuous processing procedure such as heat treatment, especially when workpieces are in a heating furnace and other apparatus, during which heating and holding time directly affects the processing quality of the workpieces. Therefore, in order to achieve efficient and high-quality processing in hybrid flow shop, it is of great value to study a hybrid flow shop scheduling model featuring continuous processing and intermittent processing with variable parameters from the point of view of completion time and processing quality.
SUMMARY
[0004] The present disclosure, with the object of pursuing high efficiency and high quality required in actual production, takes the state of workpiece, manufacturing apparatus and transport apparatus at different production processes into consideration. A continuous production process with variable parameters and an intermittent production process with variable parameters are designed, to solve the problems existing in a continuous processing such as heat treatment and cold processing, respectively. A production scheduling model targeting completion time and manufacturing quality is established.
[0005] The present disclosure adopts the following technical solution: a scheduling method for a hybrid flow shop featuring a continuous processing and an intermittent processing with variable parameters, where the essential requirements of the scheduling method are as follows: 100061 1) composition: a raw material storage area, a finished product storage area, m processing stages (m>2); (m+ I) transport stages; [0007] 2) each of the processing stages adopting one or more identical manufacturing apparatus; [0008] 3) each of the transport stages adopting one or more identical transport apparatus (each transport stage usually adopting one transport apparatus due to limited transport space); [0009] 4) in the manufacturing process, n jobs, m processing stages for processing, and (m+1) transport stages for transporting being involved; [0010] 5) each manufacturing apparatus only handling one job at a time; 100111 6) each transport apparatus only transporting one job at a time; [0012] 7) each workpiece only be handled by one manufacturing apparatus or one transport apparatus at a time; [0013] 8) the processing stage mainly consisting of two types of processing: the continuous processing with variable parameters, and the intermittent processing with the variable parameters; [0014] 9) in the continuous processing stage with the variable parameters, it being required that when processing is about to be completed in this stage, there is a variable parameter within a domain of definition [c, cl], and this parameter may be adjusted in the scheduling plan to ensure that a variety of hybrid processing parts are able to be arranged reasonably to be processed; and [00151 10) in the intermittent processing stage with variable parameters, it is required that when processing is completed in this stage, waiting time before transport and waiting time before processing in the next stage are adjusted to ensure reasonable and efficient production scheduling, and the waiting time being adjusted within a domain of definition [0. +-c].
[0016] The method is implemented in the following processes.
Si, building a time relationship network of workpieces/manufacturing apparatus/transport apparatus.
[0017] The workpieces. manufacturing apparatus and transport apparatus are in various kinds of states in the processing stage, and a variety of different time factors are adopted to express the states in the processing stage of the workpieces, manufacturing apparatus, and transport apparatus. Time relationships of the workpieces/manufacturing apparatus/transport apparatus are shown in FIG. 2. In FIG. 2, time factors related to each workpiece include: a waiting time before transport re, a transport time 71, a waiting time before processing rP, a preparation time r, a processing time 71', and an adjustment time r, where when a processing stage is the continuous processing with variable parameters, the waiting time before transport and waiting time before processing at a latter processing stage are both zero, and the variable parameter is an adjustment time of this stage, and when the processing stage is the intermittent processing, the waiting time is able to be adjusted to make a scheduling plan reasonably; time factors related to processing apparatus include: a processing apparatus gap time 7g, a preparation time Tr, a processing time r, and an adjustment time T; and time factors related to transport apparatus include: a transport apparatus gap time r and a preparation time Ti When the workpiece is processed on the manufacturing apparatus, the preparation time of the workpiece is equal to that of the manufacturing apparatus, the processing time of the workpiece is equal to that of the manufacturing apparatus, and the adjustment time of the workpiece is equal to that of the manufacturing apparatus. When the workpiece is transported on the transport apparatus, the transport time of the workpiece is equal to that of the transport apparatus.
S2, constructing a completion time model of a hybrid flow shop.
[0018] Where a mathematical completion time model of the hybrid flow shop is established, the completion time of a single workpiece is a time from the moment when the workpiece starts to be processed to the completion of the last processing procedure. Assuming that the processing time of all the workpieces starts from the time t=0, then the completion time of the whole batch of workpieces is the maximum value of the completion time of all the single workpieces in the batch. There are two processing stages in the hybrid flow shop, namely, a continuous processing with variable parameters and an intermittent processing with variable parameters, the constructed mathematical completion time model is as follows: [0019] C = max E(T,:' * +77 Do_o+T,1 + To° + Tv') (i = I, 2,3, * * .,n) s.t.

53, constructing a processing quality model of a hybrid flow shop [00301 Regarding a continuous processing with variable parameters in the hybrid flow shop model, a continuous processing is implemented by setting the adjustment time as a variable parameter. In an actual production, a continuous processing such as heat treatment mainly is implemented mainly through a heating furnace apparatus, the adjustment time is the heating and holding time of the workpiece which directly reflects the processing quality of the workpiece. In the actual processing, the holding time is a numerical value within a range under process requirements, and the optimal holding time is a value between the minimum holding time and the maximum holding time. To ensure the best quality of the workpiece after heating, an optimal holding time gap value is set within a holding time range under process requirements, to optimize the holding time gap and thus improve the heating quality of forgings. The optimal holding time gap value being expressed as: [0031] hgri, = (hi; hr:)(1 D i) (II).
