Usually, in make-to-order environments which work only in response to the customer’s orders, manufacturers for maximizing the profits should offer the best price and delivery time for an order considering the existing capacity and the customer’s sensitivity to both the factors. In this...

The problem of scheduling multiple, large scale, make-to-order assemblies is considered. Beside "classical" precedence- and resource constraints as known from resource constrained project scheduling we take spatial resource and part availability constraints into account. The objective is to...

We consider the problem of scheduling multiple, large-scale, make-to-order assemblies under resource, assembly area, and part availability constraints. Such problems typically occur in the assembly of high volume, discrete make-to-order products. Based on a list scheduling procedure which has...
