This paper is concerned with performing job shop scheduling considering discrete uncertainty based on proactive scheduling approach. This research deals with production in which an intermediate product needs to undergo a reworking or a reprocessing depending on result of inspection. For this type of production, we developed the following method: (i) a set of consistent schedules each of which corresponds to a production scenario determined by an inspection result is generated by using genetic algorithm so that a weighted sum of makespan, overtime work and tardiness is minimized; (ii) the production starts based on the initial schedule that corresponds to the scenario in which no reworkings/reprocessings occur, and then the schedule is switched by the one which corresponds to the new scenario each time when it turned out that a reworking/reprocessing needs to be performed. Comparison to reactive scheduling approach using numerical examples showed effectiveness of the proposed method.
