for the version with no idle time. These heuristics were then the basis for the development of new heuristic procedures … research on the version with an inserted idle time focused on an exact approach, while several heuristics were already proposed … for the version with idle time. Some improvement procedures were also considered. The new heuristics outperformed the …

Shop-floor communication and process management for quality performance: An empirical analysis of quality management
Zeng, Jing; Anh, Phan Chi; Matsui, Yoshiki - In: Management Research Review 36 (2013) 5, pp. 454-477
Purpose – This study empirically examines the effect of shop-floor communication on implementation effectiveness of process management practices, and on the corresponding quality performance gained through process management implementation. It deals with four types of communication on the shop...

GI/G/1/∞ batch arrival queueing system with a single exponential vacation
Kempa, Wojciech - In: Computational Statistics 69 (2009) 1, pp. 81-97
In the article the queueing system of GI/G/1 type with batch arrival of customers and a single exponentially distributed vacation period at the end of every busy period is considered. Basic characteristics of transient state of the system are investigated: the first busy period, the first...

Scheduling hybrid flow shop problem with non-fixed availability constraints
Besbes, Walid; Teghem, Jacques; Loukil, Taicir - In: European Journal of Industrial Engineering 4 (2010) 4, pp. 413-433
In this study, we deal with a k-stage hybrid flow shop scheduling problem under availability constraints (HFSPAC). In such a problem, machines are not continuously available due to preventive maintenance tasks. Our study aims to provide a good approximate solution to this specific problem with...
