Abstract

Nowadays, mass customization is a modern ideological production strategy that brings numerous new obstacles in areas like batch sizing, cost, and time. This paper proposes the permutation flow shop scheduling problem to minimize time and cost using a heuristic named Analytical Batch Optimization method while maintaining the product sequence order using the Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process (FAHP). This study presents Analytical Batch Optimization that could reduce product Makespan, idle time, job completion time, and the number of changeovers while increasing slack remaining. The proposed approach, namely FAHP along with analytical batch optimization integrating with the setup and maintenance time in this study, is used to compare three cases, viz. without combined time, with combined time, and with combined time-shifted. A case study from benchmark literature is illustrated. The suggested approach is relatively straightforward to comprehend. The results are comparable with earlier studies.
