Since its advent, the 'just-in-time'-paradigm has considerable influence on production planning and control. While originally employed for high-volume production, 'just-in-time'-concepts are meanwhile documented for low-volume, make-to-order production as well. An example is the assembly of...

The problem of scheduling multiple, large scale, make-to-order assemblies is considered. Beside "classical" precedence- and resource constraints as known from resource constrained project scheduling we take spatial resource and part availability constraints into account. The objective is to...

We consider the classical resource-constrained project scheduling problem (RCPSP). The paper gives a detailed algorithmic description and provides theoretical results on two widely known problem specific heuristics: The serial and the parallel scheduling scheme. An in-depth computational study...
