In recent days, the industrial sector is characterised by saturated worldwide target markets and high expectations of the consumers. This new context subjects the company to a great deal of pressure. Therefore, companies try to optimise their supply chains in order to improve their...

This paper addresses the parameter modelling and optimisation issues in the application of a bio-inspired model for the scheduling of dynamic flexible job shop with sequence-dependent setups. The study sets the model parameters using two steps, termed mapping and tuning. Mapping establishes a...
