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 …

Flowshop scheduling problems with setup times arise naturally in many practical situations.
This paper provides a review of static and deterministic flowshop scheduling research …

Due to its practical relevance, the flowshop group scheduling problem has received much
attention in the academic and practice-oriented literature. As machines are grouped to cells …

This study strives to minimize multi-objective flexible flowshop considering sequence-
dependent setup times. The flowshop scheduling problem made up of n jobs that have to be …

Lot streaming combined lot splitting with operations overlapping is one of the effective
techniques used to implement the time-based strategy in today's era of global competition …

In this paper we present a review of the literature on lot streaming. Lot streaming is a
technique that accelerates the flow of a product through a production system by splitting its …

In this paper we consider a multi-objective group scheduling problem in hybrid flexible
flowshop with sequence-dependent setup times by minimizing total weighted tardiness and …

This paper presents various Tabu Search (TS) based meta-heuristics for scheduling the part
families and jobs within each family in a flowline manufacturing cell (also called a flowshop) …

As the lot-streaming concept has been used widely to reduce the makespan in a production
system, most research has investigated the flow shop production systems; however, job …

Lot streaming is a process of breaking a batch of jobs into smaller lots, and then processing
these in an overlapping fashion on the machines. This important concept can significantly …
