Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to solve a flexible job shop scheduling problem where alternate machines are … machines for scheduling. Design/methodology/approach – FJSP for n jobs and more than three machines is non polynomial (NP) hard … in nature and hence a multi‐objective genetic algorithm (GA) based approach is presented for solving the scheduling …

Effective planning and scheduling systems improve performance in every area of a company. Interfunctional communication … marketing's active participation in planning and scheduling creates a raised performance and a consensus‐based, trusting working …

Purpose – The traditional maintenance scheduling strategies of multi-component systems may result in maintenance … maintenance actions within scheduling horizon are considered. Moreover, the maintenance resources can be integrated into the …

attributes of activities that may serve to better explain complex travel behaviours—such as activity scheduling and tour … from a recent in-depth week-long activity scheduling survey was used to define and compare these attributes. Results show …

The flow-shop minimum-length scheduling problem with n jobs processed on two machines is addressed where processing … times are uncertain: only lower and upper bounds of the random processing times are given before scheduling, but their …

This paper focuses on scheduling problem of a pipe-processing flowshop in a shipyard. The flowshop composes of five …-processing scheduling is a critical task for shipbuilding to meet the due date of the block erection. A tabu search algorithm is developed … for the scheduling problem with the objective of minimizing total tardiness. Computational experiments are performed on …
