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 …

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 …

Although several monographs and edited volumes have discussed scheduling in general, most of these works survey the … field by contributing a single chapter to production systems like flow shops. Flow Shop Scheduling: Theoretical Results … scheduling and in optimization in general …

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 …
