Abstract
This paper develops operational methods for the minimization of the energy consumption of manufacturing equipment. It is observed that there can be a significant amount of energy savings when non-bottleneck (i.e. underutilized) machines/equipment are turned off when they will be idle for a certain amount of time. Using this fact, several dispatching rules are proposed. A detailed performance analysis indicates that the proposed dispatching rules are effective in decreasing the energy consumption of especially underutilized manufacturing equipment. In addition, a multi-objective mathematical programming model is proposed to minimize the energy consumption and total completion time. Using this approach, a production manager will have a set of non-dominated solutions (i.e. the set of efficient solutions) which he/she can use to determine the most efficient production sequence which will minimize the total energy consumption while optimizing the total completion time.
