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 paper, a discrete Water Wave Optimization algorithm (DWWO) is proposed to solve
the no-wait flowshop scheduling problem (NWFSP) with respect to the makespan criterion …

This paper proposes a Tabu-mechanism improved iterated greedy (TMIIG) algorithm to
solve the no-wait flowshop scheduling problem with a makespan criterion. The idea of …

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 …

Fully automated production cells consisting of flexible machines and a material handling
robot have become commonplace in contemporary manufacturing systems. Much research …

Modern manufacturing processes have thoroughly incorporated automation and repetitive
processing. The use of computer-controlled material handling systems to convey raw …

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 …
