This book examines the problem of maintenance planning and scheduling in industrial production systems. It presents two … uncapacitated planned maintenance problem (WUPMP). It introduces specific optimization algorithms such as construction heuristics … properties and lower bounds. Computational studies demonstrate the performance of the heuristics, lower bounds, subgradients …

The scope of this book is limited to heuristics, metaheuristics, and approximate methods and algorithms as applied to … planning and scheduling problems. While it is not possible to give a comprehensive treatment of this topic in one book, the aim … of this work is to provide the reader with a diverse set of planning and scheduling problems and different heuristic …

Besides scheduling problems for single and parallel machines and shop scheduling problems, this book covers advanced … scheduling and problems with multi-purpose machines. Among the methods used to solve these problems are linear programming …, dynamic programming, branch-and-bound algorithms, and local search heuristics. The text goes on to summarize complexity …

The scheduling research field has been active and expanding for over forty years. In that time, the field has attracted …. Nevertheless, after forty years of research, scheduling and IT systems have only scratched the surface of the benefits that can be … realized from this field. MULTIDISCIPLINARY SCHEDULING: Theory and Applications is a volume of nineteen reviewed papers that …

This book presents models and algorithms for complex scheduling problems. Besides resource-constrained project … scheduling problems with applications also job-shop problems with flexible machines, transportation or limited buffers are … presented. They are used in exact or heuristic procedures to solve the introduced complex scheduling problems. Furthermore …
