Heuristics based on dispatching rules are still widely used in practice as methods for effective scheduling systems … implementing novel dispatching rules into twostage heuristics in order to solve group scheduling problems in a job shop … manufacturing cell. By a comprehensive simulation study these heuristics are evaluated and compared to established effective …
