Scheduling involving no-wait in process plays an important role in industries such as plastic,
chemical, and pharmaceutical. Moreover, many scheduling problems in other industries …

The first comprehensive survey paper on scheduling problems with separate setup times or
costs was conducted by [Allahverdi, A., Gupta, JND, Aldowaisan, T., 1999. A review of …

As laser cutting and industrial 3D printing become increasingly important in many
companies, so do the scheduling problems associated with them: serial-batch (sb) and …

Motivated by applications in iron and steel industry, we consider a two-stage flow shop
scheduling problem where the first machine is a batching machine subject to the blocking …

In this paper, the job shop scheduling problem with the objective to minimize the makespan
is discussed. A theorem on the shifting bottleneck procedure (SB) for solving this problem is …

This study aims to solve the scheduling problem arising from oxide–nitride–oxide (ONO)
stacked film fabrication in semiconductor manufacturing. This problem is characterized by …

Much attention in the lot sizing and scheduling literature has been focused on reducing the
number and size of setups. Cleanings, in contrast, remain a key cost driver in large parts of …

This paper considers a two-stage hybrid flowshop problem in which the first stage contains
several identical discrete machines, and the second stage contains several identical …

No-wait flow shop production has been widely applied in manufacturing. However,
minimization of total completion time for no-wait flow shop production is NP-complete …

Batch processing machines (BPMs) have important applications in a variety of industrial
systems. This paper considers the problem of scheduling two BPMs in a flow shop with …
