Wireless Manufacturing (WM) is emerging as a next-generation advanced manufacturing
technology (AMT). WM relies substantially on wireless devices (eg RFID—Radio Frequency …

The scheduling literature is extensive, but much of this work is theoretical and does not
capture the complexity of real world systems. Capital goods companies produce products …

Joint production and distribution planning at the operational level has received a great deal
of attention from researchers. In most industries these processes are decoupled by means of …

Setting kanban sizes is one of the first decisions that users of kanban system must address,
yet researchers have largely assumed kanban sizes to be given. This paper investigates the …

This paper addresses the problem of making sequencing and scheduling decisions for n

We address the closely related problems of production planning and scheduling on mixed
model automobile assembly lines. We propose an integrated solution, in which a production …

This paper addresses lot sizing and scheduling problem of a flow shop system with capacity
constraints, sequence-dependent setups, uncertain processing times and uncertain multi …

This paper addresses an integrated job-shop production planning and scheduling problem
with setup time and batches. It not only considers the setup cost, work-in-process inventory …

This paper considers the simultaneous scheduling of material handling transporters (such
as automatic guided vehicles or AGVs) and manufacturing equipment (such as machines …
