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 …

Various deterministic scheduling problems with availability constraints motivated by
preventive maintenance attract more and more researchers. Many results involving this …

This pioneering book addresses the latest research findings and application results on
disruption management, which is the study of how to dynamically recover a predetermined …

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 …

Motivated by a problem commonly found in electronic assembly lines, this paper deals with
the problem of scheduling jobs and a rate-modifying activity on a single machine. A rate …

A greedy randomised adaptive search procedure (GRASP) is an iterative multi-start
metaheuristic for difficult combinatorial optimisation. The GRASP iteration consists of two …

In this paper, a hybrid discrete firefly algorithm is presented to solve the multi-objective
flexible job shop scheduling problem with limited resource constraints. The main constraint …

Most papers in the scheduling field are based on the assumption that machines are always
available at constant speed. However, in industry applications, it is very common for a …

In this study, we address a rescheduling problem in parallel machine environments under
machine eligibility constraints. We consider total flow time as efficiency measure and the …

This paper deals with the problem of scheduling a single machine with periodic
maintenance, where the machine is assumed to be stopped periodically to be maintained or …
