This paper proposes a penalty-shift-insertion (PSI)-based algorithm for the no-wait flow shop scheduling problem to minimize total flow time. In the first phase, a penalty-based heuristic, derived from Vogel’s approximation method used for the classic transportation problem is used to generate...

"This book focuses on new developments in computational intelligence in areas such as forecasting, scheduling, production planning, inventory control, and aggregate planning, among others. It provides cutting-edge knowledge on information technology developments for both researchers and...
