Finding upper bound for tightening of individual constraints in flexible manufacturing systems

Delays and complications in different schedules are a common and widely applicable issue in modern society. These problems, if severe enough can cause a preexisting schedule to become infeasible, thus creating additional problems with varying levels of severity. The focus of this work is to showcase a systematic method for modelling potential disturbances in the execution of a schedule, and to provide algorithms which can help analyze the maximum bounds in which each constraint of the schedule is allowed to change without making the schedule infeasible. Presented is a method that is proven to provide results for the entire schedule with cubic complexity with regard to the number of jobs, as well as a heuristic method with results that approximate the correct ones, but runs considerably faster.CSE3000 Research ProjectComputer Science and Engineerin
