Multiple jobs are processed simultaneously on a given batch processing machine in parallel
batching. The resulting batch is called a p-batch. Batching can lead to reduced production …

Most of the sustainable scheduling research deals with some environmental issues such as
electricity consumption or carbon emissions although there are many other environmental …

With the guidance of the advanced manufacturing philosophy, green scheduling and energy
efficiency have received considerable attention from enterprises and countries. Meanwhile …

We study how to save energy from the viewpoint of operation management. When to turn-
on/off machines and which speed level to choose are two measures we employ to save …

Production scheduling has a significant impact on energy savings in manufacturing system
from the viewpoint of operation management. Taking the flexibility of machining speeds …

In order to build a green manufacturing model and realize energy conservation and
emission reduction, we establish a distributed two-stage reentrant hybrid flow shop bi-level …

Currently, energy consumption reduction is playing a more and more important role in
production and manufacturing, especially for energy-intensive industries. An optimal …

Energy-efficient scheduling is highly necessary for energy-intensive industries, such as
glass, mould or chemical production. Inspired by a real-world glass-ceramics production …

The substantial amount of energy consumed through industrial production has given rise to
a large number of research papers that incorporate environmental aspects and increased …

Compromising productivity in exchange for energy-saving does not appeal to capital-
intensive manufacturing industries. However, we might be able to maintain the same …
