The scheduling of flow shops with multiple parallel machines per stage, usually referred to
as the hybrid flow shop (HFS), is a complex combinatorial problem encountered in many …

In this paper, an extensive review of recently published papers on hybrid flow shop (HFS)
scheduling problems is presented. The papers are classified first according to the HFS …

Hybrid flow shop (HFS) scheduling has been extensively examined and the main objective
has been to improve production efficiency. However, limited attention has been paid to the …

The first comprehensive survey paper on scheduling problems with separate setup times or
costs was conducted by [Allahverdi, A., Gupta, JND, Aldowaisan, T., 1999. A review of …

After 50 years of research in the field of flowshop scheduling problems the scientific
community still observes a noticeable gap between the theory and the practice of …

The scheduling problem in a container terminal is characterized by the coordination of
different types of equipment. In this paper, we present an integrated model to schedule the …

This paper proposes a total of nine algorithms to minimize the makespan for the hybrid
flowshop scheduling problem with sequence-dependent setup times. The first six algorithms …

This paper reviews the literature related to the class of scheduling problems that involve
sequence-dependent setup times (costs), an important consideration in many practical …

Much of the research on operations scheduling problems has either ignored setup times or
assumed that setup times on each machine are independent of the job sequence. This …

This paper examines scheduling in flexible flow lines with sequence-dependent setup times
to minimize makespan. This type of manufacturing environment is found in industries such …
