Abstract Scheduling decisions related to due date assignment, order release and priority dispatching affect multiple performance dimensions simultaneously. Previous job-shop studies based on simulation and multiobjective optimization techniques do not explore the goals that a decision-maker (DM) wishes to reach, when assessing compensations between multiple benefits and potential impacts yielded by a combination of rules. With the aim of reflecting the DM's preference structure on scheduling decisions, this paper considers a discrete event simulation approach integrated with the Flexible and Interactive Tradeoff (FITradeoff) compensatory method to identify the best combination of due date assignment, order release and shop dispatching rules. Through discrete event simulation, the performance of different combinations of rules and inherent parameters are evaluated with regard to the attributes of total cost, production quantity, total throughput time, and tardiness. The FITradeoff method is used to compensate the disadvantage in one of the performance attributes with the advantage in other attributes, considering the DM's preferences which are elicited in a procedure that requires less information in order to make comparisions between multiple simulated consequences. A numerical application is set out using realistic data from a manufacturer of ladies' shoes so as to visualize and discuss the steps of the model and its usefulness in practice.

集成仿真和 FITradeoff 方法在作业车间生产系统中进行调度规则选择

摘要 与截止日期分配、订单发布和优先调度相关的调度决策同时影响多个绩效维度。先前基于模拟和多目标优化技术的车间研究没有探索决策者 (DM) 在评估多种利益和规则组合产生的潜在影响之间的补偿时希望达到的目标。为了反映 DM 对调度决策的偏好结构，本文考虑了一种离散事件模拟方法，该方法与灵活交互权衡 (FITradeoff) 补偿方法相结合，以确定到期日分配、订单发布和商店调度规则的最佳组合。通过离散事件模拟，根据总成本、生产数量、总生产时间和延迟等属性，对规则和固有参数的不同组合的性能进行评估。FITradeoff 方法用于用其他属性的优势来补偿一个性能属性的劣势，考虑到 DM 的偏好，这些偏好是在需要较少信息的过程中引起的，以便在多个模拟结果之间进行比较。使用来自女鞋制造商的真实数据进行数值应用，以便可视化和讨论模型的步骤及其在实践中的实用性。FITradeoff 方法用于用其他属性的优势来补偿一个性能属性的劣势，考虑到 DM 的偏好，这些偏好是在需要较少信息的过程中引起的，以便在多个模拟结果之间进行比较。使用来自女鞋制造商的真实数据进行数值应用，以便可视化和讨论模型的步骤及其在实践中的实用性。FITradeoff 方法用于用其他属性的优势来补偿一个性能属性的劣势，考虑到 DM 的偏好，这些偏好是在需要较少信息的过程中引起的，以便在多个模拟结果之间进行比较。使用来自女鞋制造商的真实数据进行数值应用，以便可视化和讨论模型的步骤及其在实践中的实用性。
