Multi-objective programming is commonly used in the literature when conflicted objectives
arise in solving optimization problems. Over the past decades, classical optimization …

As globalisation and competition grow rapidly, adopting a flexible manufacturing philosophy
becomes more critical for manufacturers. Cellular Manufacturing System (CMS) is among …

The flexibility of production systems is becoming more and more important for manufacturers
facing various changes. As an effective way to increase the flexibility in a short time with a …

Abstract Work-in-process (WIP) is an important performance measure of contemporary
