Family based dispatching rules reduce time spent on setups to improve system performance. However, they can lead to bulky arrivals at subsequent stages, causing additional delays. Few studies have considered this effect so far. Preemption, on the other hand, can enforce the deadlines of important jobs in real situations. This study deals with a new production control problem of family based dispatching rules and preemption. No research has addressed both family based dispatching rules and preemption. A new framework of decision making is presented to solve this problem. The analysis of family based dispatching rules and preemption is carried out at a two-stage flow shop by simulation modeling and statistical analysis to discover several key factors. In addition, this research investigates the performance differences among different preemption types with respect to family based dispatching rules. The results of this paper can offer insight into the use of preemption, especially with family based dispatching rules.

基于家庭的调度规则减少了设置时间以提高系统性能。但是，它们可能会导致后续阶段的大量到达，从而造成额外的延误。到目前为止，很少有研究考虑过这种影响。另一方面，抢占可以在实际情况下强制执行重要作业的最后期限。本研究涉及基于家庭的调度规则和抢占的新生产控制问题。没有研究同时解决基于家庭的调度规则和抢占问题。提出了一个新的决策框架来解决这个问题。通过仿真建模和统计分析，在某两级流水车间对基于族的调度规则和抢占进行了分析，发现了几个关键因素。此外，本研究调查了不同抢占类型在基于家庭的调度规则方面的性能差异。本文的结果可以深入了解抢占的使用，尤其是基于家庭的调度规则。
