Scheduling involving no-wait in process plays an important role in industries such as plastic,
chemical, and pharmaceutical. Moreover, many scheduling problems in other industries …

A great deal of work has been done to analyze the problem of robot move sequencing and
part scheduling in robotic flowshop cells. We examine the recent developments in this …

In this survey we review the current complexity status of basic cyclic scheduling models. We
start with the formulations of three fundamental cyclic scheduling problems, namely the …

This study investigates the no-wait flow shop scheduling problem and proposes a hybrid
(HES-IG) algorithm that utilizes makespan as the objective function. To address the …

Contemporary flowshops that are variants of the classical flowshop frequently pose
challenging scheduling problems. Such flowshops include no-wait, blocking, and robotic …

We present a comprehensive case study comparing the performance of D-Waves' quantum-
classical hybrid framework, Fujitsu's quantum-inspired digital annealer, and Gurobi's state-of …

In this research, flexible flow shop scheduling with unrelated parallel machines at each
stage are considered. The number of stages and machines vary at each stage and each …

This paper addresses the robotic scheduling problem in blocking hybrid flow shop cells that
consider multiple part types, unrelated parallel machines, multiple robots and machine …

Effective sequencing and scheduling of material handling systems (MHSs) have a major
impact on the productivity of a manufacturing system. Since the main function of a MHS is to …

The solution of cyclic scheduling problems is part of the classical repertoire on scheduling
algorithms. We consider a problem of cyclic scheduling of identical parts in a production line …
