The multi-machine operation as a research area is motivated by issues that arise in industrial manufacturing, production planning and computer control. Consider a large automotive garage with specialty stores. A car may require the following work such as replacing the exhaust system, aligning the wheels and tuning. These three tasks can be performed in any order. However, since the exhaust system, alignment and tuning shops are in different buildings, it is impossible to perform two tasks for one car simultaneously. When there are many cars that require services in all three stores, it is desirable to build a service schedule that takes the least amount of total time. Industries are basically aimed at producing useful goods and services at low cost of production, cost of machinery and low inventory cost. Nowadays in this world all the tasks have been done faster and faster due to the technological advance, but this advance also requires huge investments and expenses. Each industry wants to achieve a high productivity rate while maintaining the quality and standard of the product at low average cost. In an industry, a considerable part of the investment is being made for the installation of machinery. So in this project we propose a job where a machine is designed that can perform operations such as drilling.
