Flexible flow shop scheduling offers the flexibility of production and job sequencing with more than one machine in a single stage. The duplication of the machines in certain stages can enhance the overall capacities, improve flexibility and reduce bottlenecks in some productions. Scheduling involves allocating resources to tasks over a specific period in order to fulfil one or more objectives. This process involves a search for job order and job sequencing to obtain an optimal schedule with the highest utilisation and efficiency.

Hence, one of the main objectives of this research is to design an intelligent optimisation model by combining both metaheuristic and dispatching rules method for FFS scheduling in static and dynamic environments. The proposed model is designed to include both time-related and jobrelated objectives to handle FFS scheduling problems. In addition, the modelling of the FFS under different dynamic environments is proposed. In the model, the resources and job related are included. In the resources related events such as machine breakdown condition is selected due to the fact that it has a great impact on the production schedule. On the other hand, for the jobs related events such as the change of processing time and due date are considered because these two events are most frequently happened in production lines. Furthermore, dynamic demand which involves the change of the job quantity, namely lot-sizing, is also included in the model. The model is equipped with a capability of searching for an optimal schedule and providing this optimal schedule instantly in a real-life production environment. 2019-08 Thesis http://shdl.mmu.edu.my/11413/ http://erep.mmu.edu.my/ phd doctoral Multimedia University Faculty of Engineering and Technology (FET) EREP ID: 9891
