This paper investigates a dynamic scheduling problem within a job shop robotic cell,
wherein multiple robotic arms are responsible for material handling in a U-shaped …

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 …

As globalisation and competition grow rapidly, adopting a flexible manufacturing philosophy
becomes more critical for manufacturers. Cellular Manufacturing System (CMS) is among …

In semiconductor manufacturing, there are wafer fabrication processes with wafer revisiting.
Some of them must meet wafer residency time constraints. Taking atomic layer deposition …

Cluster tools are automated robotic manufacturing systems containing multiple computer-
controlled process modules. They have been increasingly used for wafer fabrication. This …

For some wafer fabrication processes in cluster tools, eg, atomic layer deposition (ALD),
wafer revisiting is required. Typically, in such processes, wafers need to visit two …
