"Both process planning and scheduling are very important functions of manufacturing, which affects together the cost to manufacture a product and the time to deliver it. This book contains various approaches proposed by researchers, to integrate the process planning and scheduling functions of...

The focus of this thesis is to contribute to the development of new, exact solution approaches to different combinatorial optimization problems. In particular, we derive dedicated algorithms for a special class of Traveling Tournament Problems (TTPs), the Dial-A-Ride Problem (DARP), and the...
