A hybrid approach for haptics-based intelligent assembly planning

open access: yesAdvances in Mechanical Engineering, 2016
Assembly planning is normally realized by automatic approach or interactive approach. Both of these methods have promising advantages, but they also have inevitable shortcomings.

A hybrid simulated annealing for scheduling in dual-resource cellular manufacturing system considering worker movement

open access: yesAutomatika, 2019
This paper presents a novel linear mathematical model for integrated cell formation and task scheduling in the cellular manufacturing system (CMS). It is suitable for the dual-resource constrained setting, such as garment process, component assembly, and

Approximate Deadline-Scheduling with Precedence Constraints [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
We consider the classic problem of scheduling a set of n jobs non-preemptively on a single machine. Each job j has non-negative processing time, weight, and deadline, and a feasible schedule needs to be consistent with chain-like precedence constraints. The goal is to compute a feasible schedule that minimizes the sum of penalties of late jobs. Lenstra

Optimization of multi objective vehicle routing problem using a new hybrid algorithm based on particle swarm optimization and artificial bee colony algorithm considering Precedence constraints

open access: yesAlexandria Engineering Journal, 2018
The vehicle routing problem is the basic problem of distribution planning which seeks to find the best route with minimum displacement cost considering the number of customers, their constraints, and number and capacity of the available vehicles. In this

Multi-Objective Discrete Brainstorming Optimizer to Solve the Stochastic Multiple-Product Robotic Disassembly Line Balancing Problem Subject to Disassembly Failures

open access: yesMathematics, 2023
Robots are now widely used in product disassembly lines, which significantly improves end-of-life (EOL) product disassembly efficiency. Most of the current research on disassembly line balancing problems focuses on decomposing one product.

Handling linear precedence constraints by unification [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the 30th annual meeting on Association for Computational Linguistics -, 1992
Linear precedence (LP) rules are widley used for stating word order principles. They have been adopted as constraints by HPSG but no encoding in the formalism has been provided. Since they only order siblings, they are not quite adequate, at least not for German.

A precedence-constraint-posting procedure to generate schedules maximizing quality with anytime property

open access: yes, 2018
: "Inspired by the popularity of anytime algorithms in solving complex real world problems, we define a class of scheduling problems. In addition to the normal resource constrained project scheduling assumptions, each activity in a project has a quality ...

An Improved Approximation Algorithm for Scheduling Under Arborescence Precedence Constraints [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
We consider a scheduling problem on unrelated machines with precedence constraints. There are m unrelated machines and n jobs and every job has to be processed non-preemptively in some machine.

A Precedence Constraint Posting Approach for the RCPSP with Time Lags and Variable Durations

open access: yes, 2009
. Resource Constrained Project Scheduling Problem is a very important problem in project management, manufacturing and resource optimization. We focus on a variant of RCPSP with time lags and vari-able activity durations. The solving approach is based on

Constraint-Adjusted Nonparametric Inference for Residual-Life Functionals Under Stochastic Precedence

open access: yesMathematics
Nonparametric inference for residual-life functionals is a fundamental problem in mathematical statistics, reliability theory, and survival analysis, particularly in studies with limited sample sizes where empirical plug-in estimators may exhibit ...
