Abstract


Scheduling problems occur in many economic fields such as manufacturing, logistics, management, computer sciences, and so on … This paper studies the solutions suggested for the flexibility and robustness of a manufacturing scheduling problem - known in literature as the Cyclic Hoist Scheduling Problem (CHSP). Electroplating lines is a branch stemming from this class of problems where automatic hoist is used for moving electroplates through chemical baths. After a brief state of the art and a problem description, an example is adopted for the study of the robustness of a solution for a two-degree cyclic scheduling problem. Then, the flexibility of the solutions and their impact on the cycle time is presented.
