Production scheduling that involves maintenance activities and resource constraints plays a
crucial role in manufacturing and service environments of the modern age. While research …

Seru is a relatively new type of Japanese production mode originated from the electronic
assembly industry. In practice, seru production has been proven to be efficient, flexible …

Scheduling theory, born in the middle of the 1950s, has become an established area of
operations research, with numerous widely quoted books and influential surveys that cover …

Due-window assignment and production scheduling are important issues in operations
management. In this study we investigate the problem of common due-window assignment …

Scheduling with learning effects has received a lot of research attention lately. By learning
effect, we mean that job processing times can be shortened through the repeated …

Machine maintenance is often performed in manufacturing to prevent premature machine
failures with a view to sustaining production efficiency. In this paper we study the parallel …

Motivated by the behavioral phenomena that occur while human operators are carrying out
tasks, we study multitasking scheduling problems with a rate-modifying activity. In the …

We introduce a general model for single machine scheduling problems, in which the actual
processing times of jobs are subject to a combination of positional and time-dependent …

In this paper, we analyze the two-machine flowshop problem with the makespan
minimization and the learning effect, which computational complexity was not determined …

This paper presents models and solution algorithms for a two-machine scheduling problem
with position-dependent job processing times subject to both aging and maintenance …
