Hi Geoffrey,
I currently working on a project to schedule several work orders in a closed time frame
on different objects. I know that this is very similar to the ITC2007 examination example,
but I have big problem with the only big difference.
Do you mean work orders for machine queues as in "work queue
planning"?
My problem is, that the work orders I have to schedule don't have
the same duration. So it can be, that the duration differs from a couple of minutes to
several hours. I saw in your example, that you have worked with a list of periods, in
which the exams can take place. So maybe you might have an idea or a hint for me, how I
could solve this problem. Thank you in advance.
One way that works well on vehicle routing and work queue planning is to
make smarter moves.
Take a look at the Move implementation in the smart version of the
TravelingTournament example.
Basically, the idea is to make a non-caching
SqueezeWorkOrderBetweenTwoOtherWorkOrdersMoveFactory
that creates SqueezeWorkOrderBetweenTwoOtherWorkOrdersMove.
Where the work order is taken away, the following work orders are pulled
forward,
where the work order is added, the following work orders are pushed into
the future.
Kind regards,
Volker Schumacher
