In order o mee his demand, he need o expand is mached by he need o uilize exising faciliies, and increase efficiency. As a resul, convenional order managemen programs ofen no longer suffice. Single-sie planning has developed ino muli-sie planning, leading o disance problems beween sies as well as problems regarding informaion ransfers beween hem. This sudy aims a consrucing a decision model of an inegraed muli-sie producion scheduling problem. To suppor muli-sie facories wih heir mass orders, based on he premise ha hey were under oal order managemen sysems, he decision model considered such complicaed facors as he produc marke feaures, due dae, producion scheduling, and order profi and capaciy of each sie. Mos real-world scheduling problems involve muliple objecives which may be conflicing wih each oher. In addiion, he effec facors aken ino accoun by previous muli-objecive scheduling research are essenially quaniaive facors. However, more qualiaive facors also have o be considered relaed o organizaions operaing messages. We propose an inegraed producion scheduling model and use hybrid geneic algorihm mehods as soluion procedures.

2 6 C. Perng, P. Chang, S. Lin, C. Huang, and Z. Ho INTRODUCTION In business, producion aciviies play an imporan role in deermining a company s operaing cos. In modern managemen, organizaions inerac wih he environmen and pursue objecives according o heir specific mission (Tavares, 2000). Scheduling is an imporan ool for manufacuring and engineering, as i can have a major impac on he produciviy of a process. In manufacuring, he purpose of scheduling is o minimize producion ime and coss by direcing a producion faciliy regarding wha o make, when, wih which saff, and on which equipmen. Producion scheduling aims o maximize he efficiency of he operaion and reduce coss (Pinedo, 2005). In general, he producion plan and scheduling of orders are boh very complicaed. Muli-sie scheduling lieraure was firs poined ou in Thierry e al. (1995), who saed ha problems could be solved by improving coordinaion beween differen producion unis in he field of producion planning and conrol for a muli-sie producion. A muli-sie producion akes place when he producion faciliies of an inernaional company are locaed in differen geographical sies. To solve his problem, a cenralized approach is chosen and a muli-sie planning inegraed sysem is buil in relaion o he local planning and conrol sysems of he differen producion sies. Bullinger e al. (1997) proposed an objec-oriened model o projec muli-sie producion. Sauer e al. (1998) saed ha global level daa were normally aggregaed, imprecise, or esimaed. Mos previous mehods focused on local producion sies wihou giving consideraion o he coordinaion issue. They proposed a global view of muli-sie company operaions. During he las en years, various papers have discussed muli-sie scheduling problems. However, here is sill a wide range of problems ha exis due o differen ypes of facories each having is own se of prioriies. The firm in our empirical sudy in is a machine ool company locaed in cenral Taiwan. This sudy aims a consrucing a decision model of an inegraed muli-sie producion scheduling problem, and a novel approach hybrid geneic algorihm is applied ino his combinaorial problem. In his empirical sudy, we demonsrae ha firms can improve heir profis hrough reducing coss such as penalies for job ardiness, ec. The res of he paper is organized as follows: Secion 2 illusraes he lieraure review; secion 3 depics he consrucion of a scheduling model; secion 4 describes he heurisic process and he conclusion is summarized in secion 5. LITERATURE REVIEW During he las decade, a variey of muli-sie scheduling echniques have been developed and applied in pracice. Pirkul and Jayaraman (1998) presened a mixed ineger programming formulaion for he supply chain managemen problem wih capaciaed plans and warehouses. They proposed an efficien heurisic based on Lagrangian relaxaion of he muli-sie scheduling problem. Roux e al. (1999) repored a mehod which alernaed beween solving a planning problem in which lo-sizes were compued for a given sequence of jobs on each machine, and a scheduling problem in which sequences were compued for each sie. The lo-sizing and scheduling problems can also be solved in parallel. Vercellis (1999) proposed he adapaion of maser producion planning (MPS) conceps o muli-sie producion scheduling. Timpe and Kallrah (2000) proposed a
3 Opimizing Muli-Sie Producion Planning and Scheduling wih a Hybrid Geneic Algorihm 7 mixed linear ineger programming model o a muli-sie scheduling nework. Guine (2001) suggesed a wo-level producion managemen o conrol muli-sie producion sysems divided ino global muli-sie planning and local muli-sie scheduling. Sambasivan and Schmid (2002) presened a heurisic procedure for solving muli-plan, muli-iem, capaciaed lo sizing problems wih iner-plan ransfers. The soluion procedure used he soluion for he non-capaciaed problem as a saring poin. Moon e al. (2002) proposed an inegraed process planning and scheduling (IPPS) model for he muli-plan supply chain (MSC), which behaves liked a single company hrough srong coordinaion and cooperaion oward muual goals. Leung e al. (2003) addressed he problem of aggregae producion planning (APP) for a mulinaional lingerie company in Hong Kong. The muli-sie producion planning problem considered he producion loading plans among manufacuring facories subjec o cerain resricions, such as producion impor/expor quoas imposed by he regulaory requiremens of differen naions, he use of manufacuring facories/locaions wih regard o cusomer preferences, as well as producion capaciy, workforce levels, sorage space and resource condiions of he facories. In ha paper, a muli-objecive model was developed o solve he producion planning problems, in which he profi was maximized bu producion penalies resuling from going over/under quoas and he change in workforce level were minimized. Oher relaed sudies included a muli-sie scheduling sysem proposed by Gnoni e al. (2003), a sysemaic approach o solving he muli-sie resources planning problem proposed by Papageorgiou (2004), and a deerminisic model for solving a muli-sie and muli-warehouse problem repored by Jolayemi and Olorunniwo (2004). A geneic algorihm (GA) is a search echnique used in compuing o find exac or approximae soluions o opimizaion and search problems. Geneic algorihms are caegorized as global search heurisics. Geneic algorihms are a paricular class of evoluionary algorihms ha use echniques inspired by evoluionary biology such as inheriance, muaion, selecion, and crossover (Schmi, 2001). GA was inroduced as early as 1954 by Nils Barricelli. Geneic algorihms are implemened as a compuer simulaion in which a populaion of absrac represenaions (called chromosomes or he genoype or he genome) of candidae soluions (called individuals, creaures, or phenoypes) o an opimizaion problem evolves oward beer soluions (Koza, 1992). The soluions are represened in binary as srings of 0 and 1, bu oher encodings are also possible. The evoluion usually sars from a populaion of randomly generaed individuals and happens over generaions. In each generaion, he finess of every individual in he populaion is evaluaed, muliple individuals are sochasically seleced from he curren populaion (based on heir finess), and modified (recombined and possibly randomly muaed) o form a new populaion. The new populaion is hen used in he nex ieraion of he algorihm (Holland, 1975). The algorihm erminaes when eiher a maximum number of generaions has been produced, or a saisfacory finess level has been reached for he populaion. If he algorihm has erminaed due o a maximum number of generaions, a saisfacory soluion may or may no have been reached. I ypically conains: a geneic represenaion and a finess funcion o be evaluaed (Vose, 1999). Holland (1976) simulaed naural selecion and proceeded wih crossover and muaion. His research has become a popular ciaion. Our sudy call GA module form, he Malab library, is based on his research. In recen years, GA is ofen muaed by oher algorihms o design a new hybrid geneic algorihm (HGA), such as abu search (Diaz e al., 2008; Degerekin e al., 2008; Drezner, 2008). We also design a HGA for our research problem.
4 8 C. Perng, P. Chang, S. Lin, C. Huang, and Z. Ho Alhough some lieraures are available on muli-sie scheduling problems, here is only a small amoun of his lieraure focused on machine ool indusries. This is also he case wih regard o he lieraure available on discussing hybrid geneic algorihm applied o muli-sie scheduling problem. Besides, our objecive is derived from real-world scheduling problems. This sudy would offer muli-sie firms furher informaion for reducing he ardy penalies. A SCHEDULING MODEL This research esablishes a non-linear mahemaical program which simulaes he srucure of muli-sie producion scheduling. Through spliing orders of pars of each generaion in differen saellie plans, he evoluion of sequence of order assignmen of pars in each generaion reached opimized performance. The model is described as follows: Noaions p : order of pars number ( p1,, P); : producion sage ( 1,, T ); i : producion sage number of order of pars ( i1,, I ); i j : sie number of producion sage of order of pars ( j 1,, J ); m : machine number ( m1,, M J i ) Parameers P : processing ime a order of pars p, order of par sage i, sie j, machine m, sage S : seup ime a order of pars p, order of par sage i, sie j, machine m, sage Q : quaniy a seup ime a order of pars p, order of par sage i, sie j, machine m, sage cap : capaciy a order of par sage i, sie j, sage cap m : capaciy a order of par sage i, sie j, machine m DD p : due dae of order of pars number p 1 : weighed facor of machine uilizaion : weighed facor of due dae 2 : weighed facor of makespan 3 W : weighed facor of quaniaive impac 1 W : weighed facor of qualiaive impac 2 ; W W2 1

The muli-objecive funcion is he performance indicaor, o evaluae he allocaion of he sie, while he penaly funcion is obained from he sequence. The weighs in objecive funcion, W1 and W 2, were derived by he Analyic Hierarchy Process (AHP).

The GA (Holland,1976) was described in Figure 1 wihou abu search. I spends oo much compuaion ime, and does no produce a good opimal soluion. Tabu is used for exclusion of some populaion (Cvijovic and Klinowski, 1995). In our hybrid geneic algorihm, we successfully add some resricions of abu consideraion in order o accelerae he process and o generae a beer opimal soluion. Our Hybrid Geneic Algorihm (HGA) is saed as follows: Sep 1: 1.1 Randomly selecs an operaion o proceed. 1.2 The se of sequence defines as S. Sep 2: 2.1 The size of he sequence is M, and is searched Z imes. 2.2 The opimal is sequence S*. 2.3 The objecive funcion is G(S*)=G(I). 2.4 Se S 1 =S and Z=1.

8 12 C. Perng, P. Chang, S. Lin, C. Huang, and Z. Ho RESULTS AND DISCUSSION The experimens are processed by Malab 6. The GA is creaed by calling he GA module from he Malab library. The HGA is coded from Malab programming and based on he seps as menioned in secion 4. Afer inensive calculaions using a Penium 4 PC, he opimal scheduling resul is compued. The muli-objecive values are shown in Tables 1 o 6, and plo a Figure 2. To compare he uilizaion of a machine using GA (in Table 1) and HGA (in Table 2), HGA oally ouperforms GA. The managerial meaning is increasing he uilizaion of he machine. When comparing he saisfacion of compleion ime using GA (in Table 3) and HGA (in Table 4), once again he HGA ouperforms GA. The managerial meaning for his is an increase in overall cusomer saisfacion due o a reducion of ardiness. To compare he makespan of GA (in Table 5) and HGA (in Table 6), he HGA ouperforms GA on a consisen basis. The managerial meaning is a reducion in he overall operaional cos (such as elecric power or manpower fees). Therefore, in Figure 2, he objecive value of HGA is beer han GA.

In his sudy, our objecive is derived from real-world scheduling problems. This sudy would offer muli-sie firms an increase in machine uilizaion, increasing cusomer saisfacion, and decreasing operaional cos. A decision model of an inegraed muli-sie producion scheduling problem is proposed, and a novel heurisic (HGA) approach is also proposed o his problem. Based on he above experimens, he objecive value of he HGA consisenly ouperforms he GA. This sudy conribues in academic research of managemen and also in empirical form. We propose ha for fuure sudies, he indicaor of scheduling performance, such as he number of ardy jobs or oal flow ime, could be added ino his muli-objecive model. The objecive value of his sudy can be furher improved by oher approaches if he resuls are used as he basis for a comparison in fuure sudies. REFERENCES Barricelli, N.A. (1954).
