  • Abstract:
    An optimal repetitive scheduling model for precast production with the consideration of resource constraints and resource sharing is proposed in this paper. A repetitive schedule, like precast production, needs to take into consideration the impact of limited resources, including equipment (such as cranes, forms, and steaming curing facilities) and skilled labor, on production makespan. Moreover, to economically and effectively utilize these valuable resources (such as cranes and work crews), it is worth taking resource sharing into consideration in precast production. A genetic algorithm-based searching technique is adopted to establish an optimal resource-constrained repetitive precast production scheduling system with the consideration of resource sharing. The system can effectively provide the optimal or near-optimal combination of production durations, resource amounts, and minimum makespan under the constraint of limited resources and with the consideration of resource sharing.
