In the last 15 years, heuristics based on large neighborhood search (LNS) and the variant
adaptive large neighborhood search (ALNS) have become some of the most successful …

The job sequencing and tool switching problem is a combinatorial optimisation problem that
appears in various industries, mainly in the manufacturing sector. Although tool switching is …

We investigate the discrete parallel machine scheduling and location problem, which
consists of locating multiple machines to a set of candidate locations, assigning jobs from …

Scheduling problems are ubiquitous and arise in numerous real-life applications. In this
article situations involving resourcing flexibility, auxiliary resource requirements and pre …

In the context of Industry 4.0 and COVID-19 pandemic, additive manufacturing (AM), the
technology of rapid prototyping directly from digital models, has received rapid development …

In various complex manufacturing systems such as wafer fabrication, ceramic processes,
and additive manufacturing, a single machine often performs multiple distinct jobs …

This paper focuses on an identical parallel machine scheduling problem with minimising
total tardiness of jobs. There are two major issues involved in this scheduling problem;(1) …

In this paper, we address the steelmaking scheduling problems with multiple constrained
resources. The objective is to minimize the maximum completion time. We consider the …

This paper addresses the problem of scheduling a set of jobs with tool requirements on
identical parallel machines in a work center. This problem considers the following …

We address the problem of resource-constrained parallel machine scheduling with setup
times in the practical context of microelectronic components manufacturing. This NP-hard …
