This paper provides a comprehensive review of discrete event simulation publications
published between 2002 and 2013 with a particular focus on applications in manufacturing …

Textile dyeing industries need huge quantity of freshwater for textile dyeing, and discharges
a huge amount of wastewater, which can inevitably lead to serious water environmental …

In this paper, we present a branch and bound algorithm for the parallel batch scheduling of
jobs having different processing times, release dates and unit sizes. There are identical …

Industrial systems are constantly subject to random events with inevitable uncertainties in
production factors, especially in processing times. Due to this stochastic nature, selecting …

Batch processing machines process several jobs simultaneously as a batch. When a batch
machine completes the service of a batch and there is at least one product waiting in queue …

The scheduling of (parallel) serial-batch processing machines is a task arising in many
industrial sectors. In the metal-processing industry for instance, cutting operations are …

This study addresses a multi-site stochastic order planning problem with real-world features
existing in make-to-order textile manufacturing supply chains widely. A mathematical model …

This research is motivated by the scheduling problem found in the burn-in operation of
semiconductor final testing, where jobs are associated with release times, processing times …

This article considers the problem of minimising total weighted tardiness on a batch-
processing machine with compatible product families, job release dates and non-identical …

Modular machining lines with multi-spindle workstations are considered. A multi-spindle
head executes a set of operations. The problem of optimal design or reconfiguration of such …
