Instance data for "Scheduling Trucks on Factory Premises"

Instance data for the paper

• Wirth, M., & Emde, S. (2018). Scheduling trucks on factory premises. Computers & Industrial Engineering, 126, 175-186.

Every instance is in a separate text file, of which there are 54 in total (18 small, medium, and large instances, respectively). The data format is as follows.

<num> is the running index of the instance.

<NumTrucks> is the total number of trucks (jobs).

<NumDoors> is the total number of dock doors (machines) on the factory premises.

<MaxDoors> denotes the maximum number of doors to be visited per truck.

<FactoryLength> denotes the size of the factory premises in meters (used to calculate the distances).

<Distribution> is the type of probability distribution used for generating the processing and transfer times.

<Processing> is a binary matrix signalling if a truck requires processing at a door: if and only if the entry in line i and column j is 1, truck j requires processing at door i.

<ProcessingTime> is the processing time matrix: the entry in line i and column j is the processing time of truck j at door i.

<DoorDistance> is the distance matrix between doors. The entrance / exit dummy door is the first line / column.

<ReleaseDate> is the release date vector for the trucks.

<DueDate> are the due dates of the trucks.

<Cost> are the weights in the objective for each truck.
