In industry, production is often organized in the form of a hybrid flow shop, and there is great
interest in methods and algorithms for optimizing such production processes. While, thus far …

The past few years have witnessed a resurgence of interest in assembly flow shop
scheduling as evidenced by increasing number of published articles in this field. A basic …

This paper aims to propose a flexible flow shop scheduling problem (FFSP) with machine-
dependent processing stages. The parallel machines in the first stage are considered …

Two-stage assembly flow shops are integral part of several manufacturing systems such as
computer and engine manufacturing lines. This paper explores three objectives of …

In modern ship manufacturing, a ship is divided into hundreds of blocks in the design stage,
and the productivity of the block manufacturing process is vital to ship delivery. This paper …

The vehicle scheduling in the logistics system of the steel park is a critical factor determining
