As the Flexible Job Shop Scheduling Problem (or FJSP) is strongly NP-hard, using an evolutionary approach to find near-optimal solutions requires effective chromosome representatio...
We propose a hybrid algorithm (called ALPINE) between Genetic Algorithm and Dantzig's Simplex method to approximate optimal solutions for the Flexible Job-Shop Problem. Local...
An ant colony optimization (ACO) approach for the resource-constrained project scheduling problem (RCPSP) is presented. Several new features that are interesting for ACO in general...
The problem of production and delivery lot-sizing and scheduling of set of items in a two-echelon supply chain over a finite planning horizon is addressed in this paper. A single ...
In order to maintain a reliable and economic electric power supply, the maintenance of power plants is becoming increasingly important. In this paper, a formulation that enables a...
