Abstract

In modern manufacturing there is the trend of the development of the Computer Integrated Manufacturing (CIM). CIM is computerized integration of the manufacturing activities (Design, Planning, Scheduling and Control) which produces right product(s) at right time to react quickly to the global competitive market demands. The productivity of CIM is highly depending upon the scheduling of Flexible Manufacturing System (FMS). Machine idle time can be decreased by sorting the make span which results in the improvement in CIM productivity. Conventional methods of solving scheduling problems based on priority rules still result schedule, sometimes with idle times. To optimize these, this papers model the problem of a flow shop scheduling with the objective of minimizing the makes pan. The work proposed here deal with the production planning problem of a flexible manufacturing system. The objective is to minimize the make span of batch-processing machines in a flow shop. The processing times and the sizes of the jobs are known and nonidentical. The machines can process a batch as long as its capacity is not exceeded. The processing time of a batch is the longest processing time among all the jobs in that batch. The problem under study is NP-hard for makespan objective. Consequently, comparisons based on Gupta's heuristics, Palmer's heuristics are proposed in this work. Gantt chart is generated to verify the effectiveness of the proposed approaches.

Abstract

The Fuel Energizer has been tested and developed for the Indian Market. The fact that taken into account a vehicle's performance is often affected by the level of adulteration in the fuel used. The Fuel Energizer has been adapted and developed with Indian conditions in mind and it is the first such device in India that can make this claim. "FUEL ENERGIZER" helps to reduce fuel consumption up to 30%. When fuel flows through powerful magnetic field created by Magnetizer inter molecular forces is considerably reduced or depressed hence oil particles are finely divided. This has the effect of ensuring that fuel actively interlocks with oxygen producing a more complete burn in the combustion chamber. Hence by establishing correct fuel burning parameters through proper magnetic means (Fuel Energizer) we can assume that an internal combustion engine is getting maximum energy per litre as well as environment with lowest possible level toxic. This result in higher engine output, better fuel economy and a reduction in the exhaust emission of hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide and oxides of nitrogen through muffler. The magnetic ionization of the fuel also helps to dissolve the carbon build-up in carburetor jets, fuel injectors and combustion chambers and thus keeping the engine in a cleaner condition.
