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 …

This paper reviews the literature related to the class of scheduling problems that involve
sequence-dependent setup times (costs), an important consideration in many practical …

In this work a genetic algorithm is presented for the unrelated parallel machine scheduling
problem in which machine and job sequence dependent setup times are considered. The …

Personalized production has emerged as a result of the increasing customer demand for
more personalized products. Personalized production systems carry a greater amount of …

Over the last fifty-plus years, the increased complexity and speed of integrated circuits have
radically changed our world. Today, semiconductor manufacturing is perhaps the most …

In this paper, we consider the problem of scheduling aircraft (plane) landings at an airport.
This problem is one of deciding a landing time for each plane such that each plane lands …

This paper discusses the problem of scheduling quay cranes (QCs), the most important
equipment in port terminals. A mixed-integer programming model, which considers various …

We propose a three-phase heuristic for the problem of minimizing the total weighted
tardiness on a single machine in the presence of sequence-dependent setup times. In the …

This paper examines scheduling in flexible flow lines with sequence-dependent setup times
to minimize makespan. This type of manufacturing environment is found in industries such …
