The manufacturing processes have been in evidence for the past hundred yearsand are being widely used in diverse areas. Among various manufacturingprocesses, casting, welding, forging, non- traditional manufacturingprocesses etc are commercially used as manufacturing solutions. This specialissue...

We consider the scheduling problem of cyclic production in a bufferless dual-gripper robot cell processing a family of identical parts. The objective is to find an optimal sequence of robot moves so as to maximize the long-run average throughput rate of the cell. While there has been a...
