Energy-efficient manufacturing is an important aspect of sustainable development in current
society. The rapid development of sensing technologies can collect real-time production …

The energy-efficient control has emerged as one of the most promising measures to reduce
the unproductive energy consumption of machines during production disruptions. Diverse …

Switching max-plus linear system (SMPLS) models are an apt formalism for performance
analysis of discrete-event systems. SMPLS analysis is more scalable than analysis through …

Most heuristic and meta-heuristic algorithms solve scheduling problems by iteratively
perturbing a trial schedule and recalculating a performance measure in each iteration to find …

This paper reports the development and application of an interval max-plus fault-tolerant
control to a seat assembly system. Such systems will undergo a profound change because …

In this study, a three‐stage methodology for carton set optimization in e‐commerce
warehouses is proposed and evaluated on three DHL Supply Chain warehouses. The …

A common way to represent a deterministic job shop is by a graph, where the nodes
represent the operations and edges represent the sequence of the operations along with the …

Calculating the performance measures of a manufacturing system is of fundamental
importance in many industrial engineering problems, particularly scheduling. Graph theory …

New solutions for problems in optimal scheduling of activities in a project under temporal
constraints are developed in the framework of tropical algebra which deals with the theory …

We consider a project that consists of a set of activities performed in parallel under
constraints on their start and finish times, including start-finish precedence relationships …
