Learning Effect and Compound Activities in High Multiplicity RCPSP: Application to Satellite Production

Authors: Duc Anh Le, Stéphanie Roussel, Christophe Lecoutre, and Anouck Chan

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 307, 30th International Conference on Principles and Practice of Constraint Programming (CP 2024)

Abstract
This paper addresses the High Multiplicity Resource-Constrained Project Scheduling Problem (HM-RCPSP), in which multiple projects are performed iteratively while sharing limited resources. We extend this problem by integrating the learning effect, which makes the duration of some activities decrease when they are repeated. Learning effect can be represented by any decreasing function, allowing us to get flexibility in modeling various scenarios. Additionally, we take composition of activities into consideration for reasoning about precedence and resources in a more abstract way. A Constraint Programming model is proposed for this richer problem, including a symmetry-breaking technique applied to some activities. We also present a heuristic-based search strategy. The effectiveness of these solving approaches is evaluated through an experimentation conducted on data concerning real-world satellite assembly lines, as well as on some adapted literature benchmarks. Obtained results demonstrate that our methods serve as robust baselines for addressing this novel problem (denoted by HM-RCPSP/L-C).

Constraint Programming Model for Assembly Line Balancing and Scheduling with Walking Workers and Parallel Stations

Authors: Xavier Pucel and Stéphanie Roussel

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 307, 30th International Conference on Principles and Practice of Constraint Programming (CP 2024)

Abstract
In the context of aircraft assembly lines, increasing the production rate and decreasing the operating costs are two important, and sometimes contradictory, objectives. In small assembly lines, sharing production resources across workstations is a simple and efficient way to reduce operating costs. Therefore, workers are not assigned to a unique workstation but can walk between them. On the other side, paralleling workstations is an efficient way to increase the production rate. However, the combination of both strategies create complex conditions for tasks to access the production resources. This paper addresses the problem of allocating tasks to workstations and scheduling them in an assembly line where workers can freely walk across workstations, and where workstations can be organized in parallel. We model this novel problem with Constraint Programming. We evaluate it on real world industrial use cases coming from aircraft manufacturers, as well as synthetic use cases adapted from the literature.

Assembly Line Preliminary Design Optimization for an Aircraft

Authors: Stéphanie Roussel, Thomas Polacsek, and Anouck Chan

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 280, 29th International Conference on Principles and Practice of Constraint Programming (CP 2023)

Abstract
In the aeronautics industry, each aircraft family has a dedicated manufacturing system. This system is classically designed once the aircraft design is completely finished, which might lead to poor performance. To mitigate this issue, a strategy is to take into account the production system as early as possible in the aircraft design process. In this work, we define the Assembly Line Preliminary Design Problem, which consists in defining, for a given aircraft design, the best assembly line layout and the type and number of machines equipping each workstation. We propose a Constraint Programming encoding for that problem, along with an algorithm based on epsilon constraint for exploring the set of Pareto solutions. We present experiments run on a set of real industrial data. The results show that the approach is promising and offers support to experts in order to compare aircraft designs with each other.

A modal logic for reasoning on consistency and completeness of regulations

Authors: Christophe Garion, Stéphanie Roussel, and Laurence Cholvy

Published in: Dagstuhl Seminar Proceedings, Volume 9121, Normative Multi-Agent Systems (2009)

Abstract
In this paper, we deal with regulations that may exist in multi-agent systems in order to regulate agent behaviour and we discuss two properties of regulations, that is consistency and completeness. After defining what consistency and completeness mean, we propose a way to consistently complete incomplete regulations. In this contribution, we extend previous works and we consider that regulations are expressed in a first order modal deontic logic.
