This paper studies a single-machine scheduling problem where flexible maintenance is
required in the planning horizon. The problem observed is in the clean operation of …

Previous scheduling theory assumes that manufacturers have enough manufacturing
resources (machines), therefore, rental costs and dynamic changes in machine number are …

This paper studies an important extension of energy-efficient production scheduling
research, where machine on/off control and machine maintenance are considered …

This research focuses on a scheduling problem with multiple unavailability periods and
distinct due dates. The objective is to minimize the sum of maximum earliness and tardiness …

Combination of job scheduling and maintenance activity has been widely investigated in the
literature. We consider a non-identical parallel machines batch processing (BP) problem …

Equipment maintenance management is essential for steel enterprises to provide
sustainable production services. However, few studies have considered the equipment …

A common assumption in the scheduling literature provides that machines are always
available, while often they have to be stopped because of preventive maintenance …

With the rapid development of worldwide container trade, quay cranes and other resources
in container terminals are suffering from increasing workloads. To reduce their failure …

This paper considers a maintenance scheduling problem on a single machine with a fixed
job sequence involving job-dependent, stochastic deterioration. If the machine breaks down …

Motivated by the behavioral phenomena that occur while human operators are carrying out
tasks, we study multitasking scheduling problems with a rate-modifying activity. In the …
