This paper uses Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) to measure multiple performance criteria
for 42 dispatching rules in a job shop environment. We introduce a DEA application in …

Scheduling techniques and dispatching rules are widely studied because of their strategic
role in achieving optimal management of manufacturing systems. In the case of flexible …

Dispatching rule selection is an important issue in dynamic scheduling of production
systems. When there are multiple performance criteria, identification of the most efficient …

Recent research shows existing dispatching rules, proposed for minimizing the total cost, do
not perform better than the Critical Ratio rule. New dispatching rules are, therefore …

Manufacturing is a major source of energy consumption and, therefore, a significant
contributor to emissions and greenhouse gases. This paper is concerned with evaluating …

This paper reviews recent studies of dispatching rules. A dispatching rule is used to select
the next job to be processed from a set of jobs awaiting service. The paper has two …

Priority dispatching rules and shop load affect job-shop performance. This paper evaluates
ten different priority dispatching rules with respect to six different performance criteria under …

This study investigates the relative priority of various job shop dispatching rules for various
shop utilization levels under both deterministic and stochastic assumptions with regard to …

This paper focuses on the development of an economic approach to selecting an optimal job
shop operating policy. A framework to include all relevant costs is first presented. A method …

This paper presents a rule driven method of developing composite dispatching rule for multi
objective dynamic scheduling. Data envelopment analysis is adopted to select elementary …
