Climate change mitigation, the goal of reducing CO2 emissions, more stringent regulations
and the increment in energy costs have pushed researchers to study energy efficiency and …

Industrial demand response (IDR) will play a crucial role in shaping future electricity
systems, as it is a key element of a just energy transition and industrial development. The …

The quest for sustainability has arrived to the manufacturing world, with the emergence of a
research field known as green scheduling. Traditional performance objectives now co-exist …

Abstract Machine on/off control is an effective way to achieve energy-efficient production
scheduling. Turning off machines and restarting them frequently, however, would incur a …

Parallel machine scheduling (PMS) is a common setting in many manufacturing facilities, in
which each job is allowed to be processed on one of the machines of the same type. It …

Owning to diverse customer demands and enormous product varieties, mixed shop
production systems are applied in practice to improve responsiveness and productivity …

In this study, a fuzzy flexible job shop scheduling problem with variable processing speeds
is considered. To address this problem, a multi-objective hybrid evolutionary immune …

This study investigates the minimization of total electricity cost in a two-machine permutation
flow shop scheduling problem under the most common electricity tariff, Time-of-Use (ToU) …

Given the high demand for energy in the manufacturing industry and the increasing use of
renewable but volatile energy sources, it becomes increasingly important to coordinate …

Time-of-use (TOU) tariff has been implemented in the manufacturing industry to improve
energy efficiency by regulating the electricity imbalance between supply and demand …
