This paper combines the tabu search process with a genetic algorithm by employing a new
partial opposed-based as the population initialization technique to minimize makespan …

Due to the uncertainty pervasive in manufacturing and production systems, a crisp
processing time is no longer appropriate. Thus, the flexible job-shop scheduling issue …

In this research, a new approach for tackling the permutation flow shop scheduling problem
(PFSSP) is proposed. This algorithm is based on the steps of the elitism continuous genetic …

The assignment problem is a problem that takes many forms in optimization and graph
theory, and by changing some of the constraints or interpreting them differently and adding …

Production scheduling in a knitting workshop is an important method to improve production
efficiency, reduce costs and improve service. In order to achieve a reasonable allocation of …

Nowadays, the conflict between the supply and demand of water resources in many regions
is becoming increasingly prominent. Scientific allocation of regional water resources has …

The piecewise quadratic fuzzy number (PQFN) can signify uncertain information that exists
in scientific, technological, and engineering fields. Hence, it is a useful tool for describing …

In the “shared manufacturing” environment, based on fairness, shared manufacturing
platforms often require manufacturing service enterprises to arrange production according to …

Scheduling jobs on equipotential machines is an activity that is very much a part of industrial
scheduling. This research reports a methodology for minimizing the make span and …

The need for automated production plans has evolved over the years due to internal and
external drivers like developed products, new enhanced processes and machinery …
