In many applications involving make-to-order or time-sensitive (eg, perishable, seasonal)
products, finished orders are often delivered to customers immediately or shortly after the …

We review dynamic programming (DP) algorithms utilized to solve offline deterministic
single-machine scheduling problems. We classify DP algorithms based on problem …

This paper integrates production and outbound distribution scheduling in order to minimize
total tardiness. The overall problem consists of two subproblems. The first addresses …

Increasing focus on power dissipation issues in current microprocessors has led to a host of
proposals for clock gating and other power-saving techniques. While generally effective at …

The supply chain scheduling problem, which is an integrated production scheduling and
distribution through the batch delivery system, has been studied by researchers for more …

In this paper we study coordinated scheduling of the outsourcing, in-house production and
distribution operations. In our integrated scheduling model, each job is either outsourced by …

The manufacture, transportation and on-site assembly sectors of precast construction
projects are often considered separately and managed by rule of thumb, causing an …

In this paper, an integrated production and distribution scheduling on a two-stage assembly
flow-shop setting with a batch delivery system is addressed. The objective is to schedule the …

We consider integrated production and batch delivery scheduling in a make-to-order
production system involving two competing agents, each of which having its own job set …

This paper deals with a single-machine scheduling problem in which jobs are released in
different points in time but delivered to customers in batches. A due window is associated …
