Proportionate flow-shop scheduling with rejection
Journal of the Operational Research Society, 2016In many heavily loaded manufacturing systems, managers routinely make use of outsourcing options in order to maintain reasonable Quality of Service for customers. Thus, there is a strong need to provide tools for managers to economically coordinate sourcing and scheduling decisions.

Scheduling Multiprocessor Flow Shops
1994We address the well-known problem of scheduling multiprocessor flow shops. For a given k-stage processing facility, where at each stage one or more identical machines are available, and a given collection of independent jobs, each comprising k tasks to be processed in order, one per stage, find a schedule that minimizes the makespan.

Group scheduling in flexible flow shops
International Journal of Production Economics, 2005Abstract Flexible flow shops are becoming increasingly common in industry practice due to higher workloads imposed by jobs. As a result, one or more stages in a flexible flow shop will have two or more units of the same machine type. The group scheduling problem, comprised of two levels of scheduling, is investigated in this paper to minimize the ...

A hybridisation of metaheuristics for flow shop scheduling
The International Journal of Advanced Manufacturing Technology, 2004The present paper deals with the formation of an optimal sequence of flow shop scheduling (FSS) for efficient operation. The primary concern of FSS is to obtain the optimal sequence, which minimises the idle time, tardiness, makespan, etc. Among these, the criteria of minimising the makespan plays a vital part.

Computational Intelligence in Flow Shop and Job Shop Scheduling
2009For over fifty years now, the famous problem of flow shop and job shop scheduling has been receiving the attention of researchers in operations research, engineering, and computer science. Over the past several years, there has been a spurt of interest in computational intelligence heuristics and metaheuristics for solving this problem. This book seeks

A heuristic for no-wait flow shop scheduling
The International Journal of Advanced Manufacturing Technology, 2013This paper presents an efficient heuristic method to minimize total flow time in no-wait flow shop scheduling. It is based on the assumption that the priority of a job in the initial sequence is given by the sum of its processing times on the bottleneck machines.

Review on Hybrid Flow Shop Scheduling
2011 International Conference of Information Technology, Computer Engineering and Management Sciences, 2011As a vital decision-making progress, hybrid flow shops (HFS) are common manufacturing environments in which a set of n jobs are to be processed in a series of m stages optimizing a given objective function. Focusing on its complex nature, this paper presents a literature review on HFS scheduling problem, classifies the various type of the problem ...

A Hybrid Flow Shop Scheduling Problem
2019Hybrid flow shop environment generally refers to the flow shop with multiple parallel machines per stage. Hybrid flow shop scheduling problem (HFSP) is a complex combinatorial optimization problem that came across in many real-life problems. In this study, a real-life HFSP of a lubricant company is considered, where the aim is to minimize total ...
