Makespan preserving flowshop reengineering via blocking constraints
, 2019 Blocking constraints are ubiquitous in machine scheduling. In a flowshop scenario, a machine might get blocked by a job that has just been processed by the same machine.

Optimization of structural assembly scheduling in the aeronautics industry
International Transactions in Operational Research, EarlyView.Abstract In the aeronautical industry, structural assembly refers to the stage in which parts, subassemblies, and main aircraft structures are fitted together, forming aerostructures. Aircraft structural assembly requires many complex activities to be performed over an intricate precedence network and is subject to interactions among the various ...

Assessing second‐price auctions for parcel exchanges in last‐mile logistics
International Transactions in Operational Research, EarlyView.Abstract The rapid growth of e‐commerce has led to multiple carriers operating in the same regions, creating opportunities for collaboration. However, logistics companies typically operate independently, leading to inefficiencies. Horizontal cooperation, where carriers share resources and infrastructure, can improve efficiency and reduce costs.

A genetic algorithm for scheduling an automated machine cell with tool and pallet–fixture setups
International Transactions in Operational Research, EarlyView.Abstract This paper solves the scheduling problem of identical parallel machines with tooling and pallet–fixture constraints in a high‐mix, low‐volume, high‐complexity manufacturing environment. The machines are connected through an automated material handling device and in‐between buffer places that allow for autonomous production.

Efficient exact formulations for the flexible job shop scheduling with flexible maintenance
International Transactions in Operational Research, EarlyView.Abstract In modern manufacturing systems, integrating preventive maintenance into production scheduling is essential to ensure operational efficiency and equipment reliability. This paper addresses the flexible job shop scheduling problem under machine unavailability constraints caused by non‐fixed maintenance tasks.

Power-aware scheduling for makespan and flow [PDF]
Proceedings of the eighteenth annual ACM symposium on Parallelism in algorithms and architectures, 2006 We consider offline scheduling algorithms that incorporate speed scaling to address the bicriteria problem of minimizing energy consumption and a scheduling metric. For makespan, we give linear-time algorithms to compute all non-dominated solutions for the general uniprocessor problem and for the multiprocessor problem when every job requires the same ...
