Abstract

Abstract : Compromising productivity in exchange for energy saving does not appeal to highly capitalized manufacturing industries. However, we might be able to maintain the same productivity while significantly reducing energy consumption. This paper addresses a flexible job shop scheduling problem with a shutdown (on/off) strategy aiming to minimize makespan and total energy consumption. First, an alternative mixed integer linear programming model is proposed. Second, a novel constraint programming is proposed. Third, practical operational scenarios are compared. Finally, we provide benchmarking instances, CPLEX codes, and genetic algorithm codes, in order to promote related research, thus expediting the adoption of energy-efficient scheduling in manufacturing facilities. The computational study demonstrates that (1) the proposed models significantly outperform other benchmark models and (2) we can maintain maximum productivity while significantly reducing energy consumption by 14.85% (w/o shutdown) and 15.23% (w/shutdown) on average.
