We consider the movement minimization problem in a conveyer flow shop processing controlled by one worker that has to serve all machines. Each machine can only execute tasks if the worker is present. A few jobs can be queued in a buffer in front of each machine. The objective is to minimize the...

We consider the combinatorial stack-up problem motivated by stacking up bins from a conveyor onto pallets. The stack-up problem is to decide whether a given list q of labeled objects can be processed by removing step by step one of the first s objects of q so that the following holds. After each...
