This paper addresses a real scheduling problem, namely, a complex flexible job-shop
scheduling problem (FJSP) with special characteristics (flexible workdays, preemption and …

This study presents a novel simple and effective search model for solving the problem of
overlapping production schedule planning with multiple objectives using ant colony …

Purpose–The purpose of this paper is to develop a new approach called advanced
overlapping production planning (AOPP) model which considers multi‐site process …

With today's interconnected manufacturing activities in the supply chain, a manufacturer
commonly has many suppliers. The capacity planning function may need to be extended to …

This study presents an overlap scheduling solution to enhance system performance for
branched-line flow-shop operations that involve reworking and a time buffer. In scheduling …

This paper considers a factory which produce n items on a single facility and which is
confronted to a cyclic demand: each item is ordered relatively to a cyclic delivery schedule …

Nowadays, companies frequently work with their customers in contract-order with fixed and
cyclic delivery dates. The exact delivery quantities are usually known only a few days before …

In the manufacturing domain, many planning models and approaches have been developed
and adopted earlier. In most of the prior extant literature, material requirements and capacity …

This paper presents a new load adjustment approach by overlapping, for flow-shop
organised firms, guaranteeing the existence of a limited capacity schedule without …
