There is an extensive literature on models that integrate scheduling with batching decisions.
Jobs may be batched if they share the same setup on a machine. Another reason for …

Economies of scale are fundamental to manufacturing operations. With respect to
scheduling, this phenomenon manifests itself in efficiencies gained from grouping similar …

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 …

Scheduling problems are combinatorial optimization problems in which some activities have
to be executed using resources that they need. A feasible allocation of the resources to the …

In classical deterministic scheduling problems, the job processing times are assumed to be
constant parameters. In many practical cases, however, processing times are controllable by …

Batching decisions are one of management's instruments to impact performance of goods-
flow systems. There is a vast body of literature on analysis and modeling of batching. This …

The single machine batch scheduling problem is studied. The jobs in a batch are delivered
to the customer together upon the completion time of the last job in the batch. The earliness …

Batching problems are combinations of sequencing and partitioning problems. For each job
sequence JS there is a partition of JS into batches with optimal value opt (JS) and one has to …

This paper addresses a problem of batch scheduling which arises in the burn-in stage of
semiconductor manufacturing. Burn-in ovens are modeled as batch-processing machines …

We study robust single-machine batch scheduling problems under uncertain processing
times to minimize total flow time. Two types of batches are considered: serial batch (s-batch) …
