Scheduling Problem Clause Samples

Scheduling Problem. Similar to previous scheduling methodology for transportation vehicles, this scheduling agent is used in order to give a model-based optimization solution. The difference between this solution and the one in section 3.3.5 is that it provides the flexibility in describing the position of the vehicles rather than the transportation that are assigned with. This gives the ability to have a dynamic behaviour even if no tasks have allocated to the AGV. The proposed modelling provides the following advantages and disadvantages The position of the AGV will be defined more flexibly giving the ability to move AGVs without assigning any tasks which can allow handle factory spaces and processes better. The AGV could handle more than one items at the same time in cases where the environment constrains allow it The complexity of the model increases, and more flexible response timeslots are required

Scheduling Problem. This optimization tool focuses on addressing the transportation plan for the factory for a given resources schedule. In this solution the resources (machines) schedule is already defined by another agent while this agent is assigned with the transportation tasks associated with the resource tasks. The objective of this agent is to minimize the earliness/ lateness of delivering the material to the location of the resource that the resource task is going to be performed. It is important to highlight that this scheduling solution requires the existence of the resources schedule in order for this solution to work. This introduces the following limitations: In re-scheduling/ dynamic scheduling solutions the agent waits for resources planning to be completed before starting any optimization services. This requires a more flexible response delay for the system. Since the two schedules are split into two different problems there is no guarantee in the inheritance between the material delivery deadlines and the actual time required to deliver the material, considering AGVs availability, transportation distances, and release time of the material. This could usually introduce lateness in the production schedule. However, dealing the transportation problem independently, as presented in the figure bellow provides the following advantages: The agent requires less time to schedule any given problem, in comparison to the integrated scheduling solution. There are lower resources utilization requirements which makes the algorithms easier to run on local computational resources of the factory. There is a lower number of decision variables which makes the algorithm more accurate on approximating the optimal value of the objective function

  • Problem Solving Employees and supervisors are encouraged to attempt to resolve on an informal basis, at the earliest opportunity, a problem that could lead to a grievance. If the matter is not resolved by informal discussion, or a problem-solving meeting does not occur, it may be settled in accordance with the grievance procedure. Unless mutually agreed between the Employer and the Union problem-solving discussions shall not extend the deadlines for filing a grievance. The Union ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ or in their absence, the Local Union President, or Area ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, or Chief ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, either with the employee or alone, shall present to the appropriate supervisor a written request for a meeting. If the supervisor agrees to a problem- solving meeting, this meeting shall be held within fourteen (14) calendar days of receipt of the request. The supervisor, employee, Union ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, and up to one (1) other management person shall attempt to resolve the problem through direct and forthright communication. If another member of management is present that person will not be hearing the grievance at Step Two, should it progress to that Step. The employee, the Union ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ or in their absence, the Local Union President, or Area ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, or Chief ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, may participate in problem-solving activities on paid time, in accordance with Article 31, Union Rights, Section 1H.

  • Scheduling Committee This Committee shall be a function of the Hospital-Association Committee and shall examine scheduling/staffing patterns on units brought to its attention and shall review suggested changes to current schedules or staffing on a unit basis. Where the Committee finds significant change(s) to be proposed, it may require a vote of the nurses on the unit to be held.

  • Scheduling i) The designated employer will provide the employee with their schedule of shifts in accordance with the collective agreement for both homes. [Insert the split/sharing of shift numbers here] Similarly, the employee will submit all requests for time off including vacation to the designated employer in accordance with the collective agreement. ii) Posted schedules will include home identification. An employee will only be scheduled in one home per shift. iii) Overtime payment and other premiums will be in accordance with the collective agreement of the designated employer. iv) Weekends off, consecutive work days and all other scheduling provisions will be in accordance with the collective agreement at the designated employer.

  • Self Scheduling The Home and the Union may agree to implement a self-scheduling process. Self-scheduling is the mechanism by which employees in a Home create their own work schedules. The purpose of self scheduling is to improve job satisfaction and quality of work life for the participating employees. Self scheduling requires a collaboration of employees and management to ensure proper coverage of the Home and to meet the provisions of the Collective Agreement. It is agreed that self scheduling will be negotiated locally by the Home and the Union and will include a trial period. Each Home must have the majority agreement of the full-time and part-time employees who vote on the issue to agree on a trial period of up to six months. Once the trial period is complete, each Home must have a minimum of 66⅔% agreement of the full-time and part-time employees who vote on the issue to continue with the new schedule on a permanent basis.

  • Access Toll Connecting Trunk Group Architecture 9.2.1 If WCS chooses to subtend a Verizon access Tandem, WCS’s NPA/NXX must be assigned by WCS to subtend the same Verizon access Tandem that a Verizon NPA/NXX serving the same Rate Center Area subtends as identified in the LERG. 9.2.2 WCS shall establish Access Toll Connecting Trunks pursuant to applicable access Tariffs by which it will provide Switched Exchange Access Services to Interexchange Carriers to enable such Interexchange Carriers to originate and terminate traffic to and from WCS’s Customers. 9.2.3 The Access Toll Connecting Trunks shall be two-way trunks. Such trunks shall connect the End Office WCS utilizes to provide Telephone Exchange Service and Switched Exchange Access to its Customers in a given LATA to the access Tandem(s) Verizon utilizes to provide Exchange Access in such LATA. 9.2.4 Access Toll Connecting Trunks shall be used solely for the transmission and routing of Exchange Access to allow WCS’s Customers to connect to or be connected to the interexchange trunks of any Interexchange Carrier which is connected to a Verizon access Tandem.
