Abstract

State-dependent scheduling has been proposed in recent years to improve the performance of heuristic scheduling. This approach uses a set of control rules to dynamically select the best dispatching rule against the changes in system conditions. In this paper, we discuss in detail the process by which such state-dependent control rules can be established. Both analytical and simulation studies were conducted to derive the operational characteristics of individual dispatching rules. Based on the results of these analysis, required control rules in state- dependent scheduling can then be constructed. An example of developing the control rules for a state-dependent scheduling of material handling robots in an automated circuit board plating line is given.
