Many activities in industry and services require the scheduling of tasks that can be
concurrently executed, the most clear example being perhaps the assembly of products …

Distributed hybrid flow shop scheduling (DHFS) problem has attracted much attention in
recent years; however, DHFS with actual processing constraints like assembly is seldom …

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to present a mathematical model and a new hybrid
algorithm for flexible job shop scheduling problem with assembly operations. In this …

In this paper, we address the assembly flowshop scheduling problem, which is a
generalisation of two well-known scheduling problems in the literature: the three-stage …

We address in this paper the two-machine open shop problem with a single server to
prepare jobs before going through the processing so as to minimize the makespan. The …

Scheduling 'n'jobs on 'm'machines in a flow shop is NP-hard problem and places itself at
prominent place in the area of production scheduling. The essence of any scheduling …

A new three stage production-assembly problem is considered in this paper. To the best of
our knowledge, considering parallel machines in the third stage, identical parallel factories …

Scheduling is the process of allocating resources over time to competitive activities such that
a certain number of goals can be achieved while the given constraints can be satisfied. This …

This paper investigates a flexible flow shop scheduling problem with the aim of minimizing
the operational costs as a new objective function. In this production system, there are some …

The advances in the computer-assisted manufacturing processes promote the product
designers to choose complex configurations in order to reduce the part count, which …
