Recently learning effects in scheduling have received considerable attention in the
literature. All but one paper are based on the learning-by-doing (or autonomous learning) …

Employee skills are seen as a main driver of competitive advantages of enterprises. This
article provides a state-of-the-art overview of research related to skill management in the …

In this paper, we consider the single-machine scheduling problems with the effects of
learning and deterioration. By the effects of learning and deterioration, we mean that job …

The existence of the learning effect in many manufacturing systems is undoubted; thus, it is
worthwhile that it be taken into consideration during production planning to increase …

As commonly observed in practice, firms can accelerate job processing by adding additional
resources to the manufacturing system while striving to sustain on-time delivery. In this …

Minimizing of total tardiness is one of the most studied topics on single machine problems.
Researchers develop a number of optimizing and heuristic methods to solve this NP-hard …

In today's constantly changing work environment, the dynamic nature of employee skills, and
the underlying learning and forgetting effects that influence production efficiency become …

This paper studies a single machine scheduling problem with setup times and learning
considerations. The setup times are proportional to the length of the already scheduled jobs …

In this paper we consider the single-machine scheduling problem with a time-dependent
learning effect. The time-dependent learning effect of a job is assumed to be a function of the …

In this paper, we bring into the scheduling field a new model of the learning effect, where in
two ways the existing approach is generalized. First we relax one of the rigorous constraints …
