This paper gives a review on existing scheduling methodologies developed for process
industries. Above all, the aim of the paper is to focus on the industrial aspects of scheduling …

Project scheduling is concerned with single-item or small batch production where scarce
resources have to be allocated to dependent activities over time. Applications can be found …

The key idea underlying iterated local search is to focus the search not on the full space of
all candidate solutions but on the solutions that are returned by some underlying algorithm …

Project controls have traditionally been focused on after-the-fact detection of variances. This
thesis proposes a control system, the Last Planner system, that causes the realization of …

The importance of high performance algorithms for tackling difficult optimization problems
cannot be understated, and in many cases the only available methods are metaheuristics …

We describe an approximation method for solving the minimum makespan problem of job
shop scheduling. It sequences the machines one by one, successively, taking each time the …

The job-shop scheduling problem is a notoriously difficult problem in combinatorial
optimization. Although even modest sized instances remain computationally intractable, a …

This book is an outgrowth of an earlier text that appeared in 1999 under the title “Operations
Scheduling with Applications in Manufacturing and Services”, coauthored with Xiuli Chao …
