The manufacturing industry directly reflects the productivity level of a country and plays an
important role in economic and social development. However, with the development of the …

The majority of scheduling research assumes setup as negligible or part of the processing
time. While this assumption simplifies the analysis and/or reflects certain applications, it …

Green scheduling in the manufacturing industry has attracted increasing attention in
academic research and industrial applications with a focus on energy saving. As a typical …

The distributed blocking flowshop scheduling problem (DBFSP) plays an essential role in
the manufacturing industry and has been proven to be as a strongly NP-hard problem. In this …

In modern discrete flexible manufacturing systems, dynamic disturbances frequently occur in
real time and each job may contain several special operations in partial-no-wait constraint …

Many manufacturing facilities generate and update production schedules, which are plans
that state when certain controllable activities (eg, processing of jobs by resources) should …

This book is an outgrowth of an earlier text that appeared in 1999 under the title “Operations
Scheduling with Applications in Manufacturing and Services”, coauthored with Xiuli Chao …

This paper proposes an effective new hybrid ant colony algorithm based on crossover and
mutation mechanism for no-wait flow shop scheduling with the criterion to minimize the …

In many applications involving make-to-order or time-sensitive (eg, perishable, seasonal)
products, finished orders are often delivered to customers immediately or shortly after the …
