Production scheduling that involves maintenance activities and resource constraints plays a
crucial role in manufacturing and service environments of the modern age. While research …

The Flexible flow shop (FFS) is defined as a multi-stage flow shops with multiple parallel
machines. FFS scheduling problem is a complex combinatorial problem which has been …

Lot-streaming flow shops have important applications in different industries including textile,
plastic, chemical, semiconductor and many others. This paper considers an n-job m …

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 …

Solving optimization problems in the modern manufacturing industry is one of the most
attractive areas of operational research. In this paper, we propose an industrial optimization …

This paper presents an ant colony system with a novel Non-DaemonActions procedure
(ACSNDP) algorithm for multiprocessor task scheduling in multistage hybrid flow shop. A …

In this paper, the problem of lot-sizing and scheduling of multiple product types in a
capacitated flow shop with availability constraints for multi-period planning horizon is …

This paper addresses to the permutation flowshop scheduling problem while considering
the preventive maintenance in the non-resumable case. The criterion to be optimized is the …

In this paper we study two generalizations of the well known unrelated parallel machines
scheduling problem under makespan (Cmax) minimization. First, a situation in which not …

In this paper, the problem of scheduling multistage hybrid flowshops with multiprocessor
tasks is contemplated. This is a strongly NP-hard problem for which a hybrid artificial bee …
