Inventory plays a major role in deciding the overall manufacturing costs, and a good scheduling system should balance the on-time delivery of products versus low work-in-process (W...
Inspired by Darwinian evolution, a genetic algorithm (GA) approach is one of the popular heuristic methods for solving hard problems, such as the Job Shop Scheduling Problem (JSSP...
This paper reviews the performance of various methods used to detect the warm up length in steady state discrete event simulation. An evaluation procedure is used to compare the m...
This paper deals with the Permutation Flow Shop scheduling problem with the objective of minimizing total flow time, and therefore reducing in-process inventory. A new hybrid meta...
Abstract--Manufacturing scheduling is an important but difficult task. In order to effectively solve such combinatorial optimization problems, this paper presents a novel Lagrangia...
