The previous studies on the flexible job shop scheduling problems (FJSP) with machine
flexibility and worker flexibility normally assume that each machine is operated by one …

Scheduling problems are ubiquitous and arise in numerous real-life applications. In this
article situations involving resourcing flexibility, auxiliary resource requirements and pre …

In this paper, an m-stage hybrid flow shop scheduling problem with limited workforce in
charge of performing setup operations is addressed. Indeed, such workforce represents a …

In this study, a fuzzy flexible job shop scheduling problem with variable processing speeds
is considered. To address this problem, a multi-objective hybrid evolutionary immune …

Nowadays, real-time scheduling is one of the key issues in cyber-physical system. In real
production, dispatching rules are frequently used to react to disruptions. However, the man …

Industry 4.0 concepts make it possible to rethink human resources allocation, even for more
traditional environments like metal machining. While parts machining on Computer …

Purpose: This study is focused on integrating a strategic perspective for bottleneck selection
and exploitation according to the DBR methodology. The researchers developed a …

Hyper-heuristics (HHs) stand as a relatively recent approach to solving optimization
problems. There are different kinds of HHs. One of them deals with how low-level heuristics …

Introduced for the first time in Germany in 2011, Industry 4.0 is a concept based on the fusion
between the digital and physical worlds, offering potential advantages in terms of flexibility …

Virtual production in the virtual factory is a modern approach to support the production
process and offers a possibility to achieve continuous progress at the logistical level of the …
