Scheduling problems are one of the widely used problems which have both academic and
real-life applications. In academic fields, it can be used to test the efficiency of a newly …

Proper scheduling of jobs is essential for modern production systems to work effectively. The
hybrid flow shop scheduling problem is a scheduling problem with many applications in the …

This paper investigates a flexible flow shop scheduling problem wherein there are some
unrelated parallel machines with different technology levels in the first stage. Some of these …

We study the scheduling of jobs on a single parallel-batching machine with non-identical job
sizes and incompatible job families. Jobs from the same family have the same processing …

This paper aims to tackle bi-objective scheduling problem in a flexible flow shop containing
unrelated parallel machines in the first stage. Due to the different technology levels of the …

The collaborative optimization of workshop layout and scheduling is key to realizing the
efficient and orderly operation of manufacturing systems. To satisfy the low-entropy …

This paper investigates a flexible flow shop scheduling problem with the aim of minimizing
the operational costs as a new objective function. In this production system, there are some …

In this paper, a multi-objective hybrid flowshop scheduling problem (HFSP) with limited
waiting time and machine capability constraints is addressed. Given its importance, the …

Abstract Reconfigurable Manufacturing Systems (RMSs) have been proposed to bolster
resilience and to efficiently address rapid changes in customer needs. However, notable …

In this chapter a variant of the classic Non-permutation Flow Shop Scheduling Problem is
considered. Time couplings for operations are introduced, determining the minimal and …
