Abstract Automated Guided Vehicle (AGV) systems are already in widespread use and their importance for material handling is expected to grow rapidly. The advantages that such …
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 …
A great deal of work has been done to analyze the problem of robot move sequencing and part scheduling in robotic flowshop cells. We examine the recent developments in this …
Fully automated production cells consisting of flexible machines and a material handling robot have become commonplace in contemporary manufacturing systems. Much research …
We consider a robotic flowshop in which one type of product is to be repeatedly produced, and where transportation of the parts between the machines is performed by a robot. The …
This paper considers the nonpreemptive scheduling of a given set of jobs on several identical, parallel machines. Each job must be processed on one of the machines. Prior to …
