REAL-TIME MANAGEMENT OF RESOURCE ALLOCATION SYSTEMS focuses on the
problem of managing the resource allocation taking place within the operational context of …

In this paper we consider a job shop scheduling problem with blocking (BJSS) constraints.
Blocking constraints model the absence of buffers (zero buffer), whereas in the traditional …

In recent years, most companies have resorted to multi-site or supply-chain organization in
order to improve their competitiveness and adapt to existing real conditions. In this article, a …

The Blocking Job Shop is a version of the job shop scheduling problem with no intermediate
buffers, where a job has to wait on a machine until being processed on the next machine …

The neglect of buffering requirements in a classical job shop scheduling system often results
in inapplicability in many complex real-world applications. To overcome this inapplicability, a …

The job shop scheduling problem (JSP) deals with the sequencing operations of a set of
jobs on a set of machines with minimum cost. The flexible job shop scheduling problem …

The blocking job shop problem is a variant of the classical job shop problem, where a job
continues to block a machine after being serviced, until the downstream machine needed by …

This paper presents a study of a practical job-shop scheduling problem modelled and
solved when helping a company to design a new production workshop. The main …

This paper deals with scheduling problems of two jobs with multi-purpose unrelated
machines. In such problems, two jobs are to be scheduled in order to minimize a regular …

This paper proposes a general scheduling model that extends job-shop scheduling models
to incorporate important features of real manufacturing systems. More precisely, each …
