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 …

We review the literature about shop scheduling problems in manufacturing systems,
revealing the concepts and methodologies that most impact the usage of scheduling theory …

The finite capacity material requirement planning system (FCMRP) for industrial scale
flexible flow shops is known to be strongly NP-hard. Due to very long computational time, the …

For effective modelling of flowshop scheduling problems, artificial neural networks (ANNs),
due to their robustness, parallelism and predictive ability have been successfully used by …

The literature published since the year 2000 was reviewed regarding the no-wait flow-shop
scheduling (No-WFSS) problem. The No-WFSS problem with separate set-up times and …

No-wait flow shop production has been widely applied in manufacturing. However,
minimization of total completion time for no-wait flow shop production is NP-complete …

Permutation flow shop scheduling has been studied since the 1950s. Due to practical
applications and because of its complex nature, several constrains have been studied, for …

In this article, the impact of preventive maintenance policies on the constructive heuristics
performance for the no-wait flow-shop problem with total flow-time minimization is evaluated …

Optimization algorithms can differ in performance for a specific problem. Hybrid approaches,
using this difference, might give a higher performance in many cases. This paper presents a …

Flow shop scheduling is common in modern lean production systems. In practice, jobs in
flow shops can arrive at irregular times. However, scheduling that considers such irregularity …
