Abstract

A dynamic scheduling for the constrained resource with partially substitutability based on the critical chain can not only improve the work efficiency of the system, but also achieve the replacement of resources and reduce the utilization of the core resources. This problem is influenced by operating time and setup time of jobs and aims at minimizing total tardiness. Plant growth simulation algorithm is inspired by the photostrophism mechanism and mainly be utilized to solve the global optimization of integer programming problem in the beginning. It possesses the convenience to determine the parameters, stability and accuracy to solve the problem and excellent global optimization ability which make it get extensive and effective application and promotion in many engineering and technical fields. Firstly, describe the problem as a dynamic scheduling problem with machine eligibility restrictions who has machines in parallel with different speeds and jobs with different release date and due date. Secondly model the scheduling problem and design the rescheduling rule according to the time series of jobs. Thirdly, adopt and optimize the new algorithm-plant growth simulation algorithm to get optimization by iterating. Finally, conduct simulation experiment and test the feasibility and superiority of the method by comparing with PSO and GA.
