The scheduling of flow shops with multiple parallel machines per stage, usually referred to
as the hybrid flow shop (HFS), is a complex combinatorial problem encountered in many …

In this paper, an extensive review of recently published papers on hybrid flow shop (HFS)
scheduling problems is presented. The papers are classified first according to the HFS …

Hybrid flow shop (HFS) scheduling has been extensively examined and the main objective
has been to improve production efficiency. However, limited attention has been paid to the …

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

The multistage hybrid flow shop (HFS) scheduling problems are considered in this paper.
Hybrid flowshop scheduling problems were proved to be NP-hard. A recently developed …

Maintenance activities have been ignored in many studies on scheduling problems where
all machines are assumed to be available without interruption in the planning horizon …

Two-stage hybrid flow shop scheduling has been extensively considered in single-factory
settings. However, the distributed two-stage hybrid flow shop scheduling problem (DTHFSP) …

Most flexible job shop scheduling models assume that the machines are available all of the
time. However, in most realistic situations, machines may be unavailable due to …

The integration in production planning, scheduling, maintenance and quality has gained
much attention from researchers in recent years. These areas are usually treated …

Two-stage hybrid flowshop scheduling in a single factory has been considered fully;
however, the distributed two-stage hybrid flowshop scheduling problem (DTHFSP) is seldom …
