Cross-docking is a distribution strategy that enables the consolidation of less-than-truckload
shipments into full truckloads without long-term storage. Due to the absence of a storage …

The business environment is increasingly complex and competitive so organizations must
respond to different market conditions by reconfiguring their processes, products and …

Subset Sumand k-SAT are two of the most extensively studied problems in computer
science, and conjectures about their hardness are among the cornerstones of fine-grained …

At a cross-docking terminal, inbound shipments are directly transshipped across the terminal
to designated outbound trucks, so that delays and inventories are kept as low as possible …

This paper considers a single machine scheduling problem in which each job to be
scheduled belongs to a family and setups are required between jobs belonging to different …

Previous studies on production scheduling have neglected the impact of the supply mode of
inventory allocation on the arrangement of production resources and guiding significance of …

In today's competitive world, it is unavoidable to provide a new efficient approach in the
cycle of production and supplying. The problem of designing a supply chain network is …

We study various two-agent scheduling problems on a single machine with equal job
processing times. The equal processing time assumption enables us to design new …

This study deals with an extension of the resource-constrained project scheduling problem
(RCPSP) by constraints on material flows released during the execution of project activities …

In this paper the approximability of parallel machine scheduling problems with resource
consuming jobs is studied. In these problems, in addition to a parallel machine environment …
