We investigate the integrated production and distribution scheduling problem in a supply chain. The manufacturer’s production environment is modeled as a parallel machine system. A single capacitated vehicle is employed to deliver products in batches to multiple customers. The scheduling...

We study the scheduling problem of minimising weighted completion times on parallel identical batching machines with dynamic job arrivals and incompatible job families. Each job is associated with a family, weight (priority), release time, and size. Batching machines can process simultaneously...
