Many real-world scheduling problems are solved to obtain optimal solutions in term of
processing time, cost, and quality as optimization objectives. Currently, energy-efficiency is …

Scheduling of complex manufacturing systems entails complicated constraints such as the
mating operational one. Focusing on the real settings, this article considers an extended …

Scheduling problems are ubiquitous and arise in numerous real-life applications. In this
article situations involving resourcing flexibility, auxiliary resource requirements and pre …

Given the high demand for energy in the manufacturing industry and the increasing use of
renewable but volatile energy sources, it becomes increasingly important to coordinate …

This paper presents a new constraint programming search algorithm that is designed for a
broad class of scheduling problems. Failure-directed Search (FDS) assumes that there is no …

An organization's and management's success is greatly dependent on its leadership. The
force that guides an organization's members' efforts toward achieving its objectives is known …

The traditional production planning and scheduling problems consider performance
indicators like time, cost and quality as optimization objectives in manufacturing processes …

Pre-admission testing clinics are care units serving outpatients prior to surgical operation
and performing procedure-specific tests to prepare them. Patients may need multiple tests …

Operating a coal export terminal (CET) is a challenging task. The throughput of the terminal
and the delays incurred by ships and trains is greatly affected by where material is stacked …

The job-shop scheduling problem with operators (JSO) is an extension of the classic job-
shop problem in which an operation must be assisted by one of a limited set of human …
