Besides scheduling problems for single and parallel machines and shop scheduling problems the book covers advanced models involving due-dates, sequence dependent changeover times and batching. Also multiprocessor task scheduling and problems with multipurpose machines are discussed. The methods...

This book presents models and algorithms for complex scheduling problems. Besides resource-constrained project scheduling problems with applications also job-shop problems with flexible machines, transportation or limited buffers are discussed. Discrete optimization methods like linear and...

Due to its complexity, its challenging features, and its practical relevance, personnel scheduling has been heavily investigated in the last few decades. However, there is a relatively low level of study on models and complexity in these important problems. In this paper, we present mathematical...

In this paper we study the single-machine problem 1|chains(l), p j =p|∑ C j in which jobs with constant processing times and generalized precedence constraints in form of chains with constant delays are given. One has to schedule the jobs on a single machine such that all delays between...

Besides scheduling problems for single and parallel machines and shop scheduling problems, this book covers advanced models involving due-dates, sequence dependent changeover times and batching. Discussion also extends to multiprocessor task scheduling and problems with multi-purpose machines....
