I'm a student. It's hard to find code examples in internet of GA applications for scheduling.

job shop scheduling matlab code genetic algorithm

Abstract

In today’s manufacturing scenario Production Scheduling plays a vital role in planning. The scheduling deals directly with the time. The allocation of available resources over time to perform a specific task. Assigning an appropriate number of workers to the jobs during each day, determining when an activity starts and end depending upon the duration of an activity, predecceor activity, resource availability and target completion date. A scheduling problem is to find sequences of jobs on specific machines with an objective to minimize total elapsed time or makespan. Job Shop Scheduling is type where the machine order can be different for each jobs. It becomes complex and agile to evolve optimal solution. JSP is widely defined as a NP hard and combinatorial in nature. In this paper the characteristics of JSP is analyzed and proposed Genetic Algorithm as one of the efficient optimization tool to solve problem like JSP. This research work aim to analyze the JSP at Job shop Process Industry considering static scheduling and also considered due dates as dynamic scheduling. Coding is done in MATLAB Version 7.10 through GUI. Compared the results with and without using GA parameters.
