The problems of production scheduling and sequencing refer to decision making regarding
the designation of jobs to available resources and their subsequent order to optimize pre …

This paper develops a multi-operator based differential evolution with a communication
strategy (MCDE) being integrated with a sequential Tabu Search (MCDE/TS) to solve the job …

Improving the flexibility and robustness of scheduling strategies is crucial for timely delivery
of aircraft in dynamic environments. However, with the large scale and frequent disturbances …

Since production efficiency and costs are directly affected by the ways in which jobs are
scheduled, scholars have advanced a number of meta-heuristic algorithms to solve the job …

This study investigates an integrated optimization problem of aircraft assembly scheduling
and flexible preventive maintenance (PM) with decision-making (FPM/DM), in which both …

This paper analyzes a flexible job shop scheduling problem with operators and is motivated
by a real-life case study of the aeronautical industry, where each process can be performed …

In recent years, the value chain facilitates the transition of competition among enterprises
from a single link to a comprehensive one, thereby driving intelligent upgrades within …

This paper presents an overview of operations research approaches applied to aerospace
manufacturing and assembly. A survey was carried out in the main literature databases and …

Abstract Make-to-order (MTO) production strategy exists under a pull system in which the
known customer orders are scheduled and launched into production, where it is challenging …

Most studies regarding real scheduling constraints only consider the constraints related to
the specific manufacturing environment studied, limiting the possibility of drawing general …
