Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Manufacturing industries are undergoing a significant transformation toward Smart Manufacturing (SM) to meet the ever-evolving demands for customized products. A major obstacle in this transition is the integration of Computer-Aided Process Planning (CAPP) with Scheduling. This integration poses challenges because of conflicting objectives that must be balanced, resulting in the Integrated Process Planning and Scheduling problem. In response to these challenges, this research introduces a novel hybridized machine learning optimization approach designed to assign and sequence setups in Dynamic Flexible Job Shop environments via dispatching rule mining, accounting for real-time disruptions such as machine breakdowns. This approach connects CAPP and scheduling by considering setups as dispatching units, ultimately reducing makespan and improving manufacturing flexibility. The problem is modeled as a Dynamic Flexible Job Shop problem. It is tackled through a comprehensive methodology that combines mathematical programming, heuristic techniques, and the creation of a robust dataset capturing priority relationships among setups. Empirical results demonstrate that the proposed model achieves a 42.6% reduction in makespan, improves schedule robustness by 35%, and reduces schedule variability by 27% compared to classical dispatching rules. Additionally, the model achieves an average prediction accuracy of 92% on unseen instances, generating rescheduling decisions within seconds, which confirms its suitability for real-time Smart Manufacturing applications.

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
