Abstract: | This paper discusses a class of interval alignment (IA) scheduling policies, which are particularly effective for the systems
that do not have Markovian structure. The numerical results show that IA policies effectively smooth part flows, improve performance
and decrease average Work-in-Process (WIP) by adding intermediate delays to the system. The boundary of IA policy is proven
and the applications of IA policy in the system with multiple stream arrivals have been discussed. With the combination of
release policy, it is practical to implement IA to multiple stream arrival system. |
