A general framework for scheduling equipment and manpower on container terminals
Hartmann, Sönke - 2002
In this paper, we propose a general model for various scheduling problems that occur in container terminal logistics. The scheduling model consists of the assignment of jobs to resources and the temporal arrangement of the jobs subject to precedence constraints and sequence-dependent setup...

Optimizing Epochal Evolutionary Search: Population-Size Dependent Theory
Nimwegen, Erik van; Crutchfield, James P. - Santa Fe Institute - 1998
Technological change at the firm level has commonly been modeled as random sampling from a fixed distribution o f possibilities. Such models, however, typically ignore empirically important aspects of the firm's search process, notably the observation that the present state of the firm guides...

A Genetic Algorithm for Lot Size and Scheduling under Capacity Constraints and Allowing Backorders
Gonçalves, José Fernando; Sousa, Paulo S. A. - Faculdade de Economia, Universidade do Porto - 2009
This paper addresses the problem of scheduling economic lots in a multi-product single machine environment. A mixed integer non-linear programming formulation is developed which finds the optimal sequence and economic lots. The model takes explicit account of initial inventories, setup times,...

Profit-oriented scheduling of resource-constrained projects with flexible capacity constraints
Schnabel, André; Kellenbrink, Carolin; Helber, Stefan - 2017
We consider a novel generalization of the resource-constrained project scheduling problem (RCPSP). Unlike many established approaches for the RCPSP that aim to minimize the makespan of the project for given static capacity constraints, we consider the important real-life aspect that capacity...
