The scheduling problems have been discussed in the literature extensively under the
assumption that machines are continuously available. However, in most real life industrial …

In this paper, a production system organized in serial shops (hybrid flowshop) is presented.
A brief enumeration of the essential constraints that characterize this kind of organizations is …

In this paper, a new approach that integrates the optimization algorithms and the simulation
methods is proposed to analyse maintenance strategies performances for manufacturing …

We focus on the problem of strategic network design in the context of multi-site enterprises.
We develop a simulation model for various supply network designs evaluation. The …

As a result of the increased penetration of stochastic renewable generation, power systems
have a growing need of flexibility for compensating real‐time mismatches between …

This paper represents an on-going research and concerns the development of an unified
formal modeling framework designed to provide for model sharing, reusability and …

The paper presents and discusses a structure and components of a distributed decision-
making system for complex discrete systems and processes control. The decision-making …

This paper deals with multicriteria discrete-continuous problems of scheduling
nonpreemptable jobs. The need for reusability and modularity leads us to build a “generic” …

This paper presents the ongoing development of a modeling methodology and a tool (the so-
called simulation integrated system with modeling and optimization (SISMO) solver) that …

Maintenance activities concern the most important assets of firms and can directly impact the
competitiveness of companies. Its performance influences the entire production process …
