This paper investigates the production scheduling problems of allocating resources and sequencing jobs in the seru production system (SPS). As a new-type manufacturing mode arising from Japanese production practices, seru production can achieve efficiency, flexibility, and responsiveness...

We study the problem of allocating a set of objects, e.g. houses, tasks, offices to a group of people having preferences over these objects. For various reasons, it often happens that more objects, sometimes fewer objects are available than initially planned and allocated. How should such...
