A Petri net is a mathematical representation of a network. This book first introduces the basic
models including time and stochastic extensions, in particular place-transition and high level …

For flexible manufacturing systems, there are normally some durations in which a number of
machines are idle and do not process any parts. Devising a control policy to turn off the idle …

This paper addresses the Cyclic Jobshop Problem in a flexible context. The flexibility feature
means that machines are able to perform several kinds of tasks. Hence, a solution of the …

This paper concerns the domain of flexible manufacturing systems (FMS) and focuses on the
scheduling problems encountered in these systems. We have chosen the cyclic behaviour to …

We are interested in Flexible Manufacturing Systems (FMS) scheduling problem. Different
methods have been explored to solve this problem and mainly to master its combinatorial …

In the economic environment of recent years, management in modern organisations has had
to make flexible responses to constantly changing new product lines and product varieties …

We are interested in the Flexible Manufacturing System (FMS) scheduling problem. Different
methods have been explored to solve this problem and to master its combinatorial …

After concisely reviewing the related work, the job shop transient scheduling problem and
the model of production system of repetitive production are discussed. The activity-oriented …

Reduction of energy consumed by a manufacturing system to turn raw parts to finished
products is a big step towards the green and lean production. In this study the energy …

We are interested in the determination of the command of Flexible Manufacturing Systems
(FMS). We have chosen the Cyclic Behavior to reduce the complexity of the general …
