To decrease the load of electricity grid during the peak period, time-of-use electricity price
has been implemented in industries to shift the production activities from the peak to the off …

Flexible job shop scheduling problem (FJSP) has attracted many research interests, in
particular for meta-heuristic algorithm (MA) developers due to the superior optimization …

Different from multiobjective optimization problems (MOPs), multimodal MOPs (MMOPs)
focus on both decision and objective spaces rather than only objective one. Thus, finding a …

Rising energy prices, increasing maintenance costs, and strict environmental regimes have
augmented the already existing pressure on the contemporary manufacturing environment …

In a reentrant production system, an effective job release policy is helpful to increase output
and keep the work in process (WIP) in an acceptable level. This study mainly focuses on the …

Presents strategies with reachability graph analysis for optimizing resource allocation
systems Supervisory Control and Scheduling of Resource Allocation Systems offers an …

In a reentrant manufacturing system, job release and scheduling are of great importance.
However, the two decisions have been made separately in the past. This study mainly aims …

This paper studies a V‐type layout design, establishes the area utilization model of a V‐type
layout based on big data technology, and verifies the validity of the area model. This paper …

Abstract Particle Swarm Optimizer (PSO) is a kind of population-based evolutionary
optimizer. Many PSO variants have been proposed and most of them require mutual …

In recent years, a number of recombination operators have been proposed for multiobjective
evolutionary algorithms (MOEAs). One kind of recombination operators is designed based …
