This paper addresses a periodic vehicle routing problem encountered in home health care
(HHC) logistics. It extends the classical Periodic Vehicle Routing Problem with Time …

This work addresses an unrelated parallel machine scheduling problem in which the jobs
cause deterioration of the machines. This factor decreases the performance of the machines …

This work proposes a unified heuristic algorithm for a large class of earliness–tardiness (E–
T) scheduling problems. We consider single/parallel machine E–T problems that may or may …

This paper addresses a serial-batching scheduling problem where the jobs with arbitrary
release times are scheduled on parallel machines with the objective to minimize the …

This paper deals with the blocking flow shop problem and proposes an Iterated Local
Search (ILS) procedure combined with a variable neighbourhood search (VNS) for the total …

In response to the effects of global warming and environmental concerns, energy
consumption has become a crucial issue. In this study, we consider a parallel-machine …

This paper considers a scheduling problem of processing jobs on two uniform parallel
machines. The objective is to minimize total tardiness, subject to the constraint that the total …

In this paper, we study the problem of periodic vehicle routing encountered in Home Health
Care (HHC). The problem can be considered as a Periodic Vehicle Routing Problem with …

This paper addresses a single‐machine scheduling problem with sequence‐dependent
family setup times. In this problem the jobs are classified into families according to their …

En ambientes de manufactura y de servicios es frecuente encontrar diferentes tareas que
son realizadas en paralelo empleando recursos heterogéneos, los cuales tienen la …
