Mixed-model assembly and lot streaming are two key technologies to improve efficiency and
reduce setups in a multi-variety and small-batch discrete manufacturing environment. Yet …

In the scheduling literature, it is generally assumed that jobs are not split into sub-lots, or that
the number and size of sub-lots are limited or predetermined. These assumptions make the …

At present, any industry that wanted to be considered a vanguard must be willing to improve
itself, developing innovative techniques to generate a competitive advantage against its …

This study presents a simulation optimization approach for a hybrid flow shop scheduling
problem in a real-world semiconductor back-end assembly facility. The complexity of the …

Drawing upon efficiency, flexibility, and responsiveness, this study attempts to explore the
impact of lot streaming and worker assignment strategies in the workforce scheduling …

Reducing energy costs has become an important concern for sustainable manufacturing
systems, owing to concern for the environment. We present a multi-objective hybrid ant …
