Navigating Challenges in Forming Grassroots Women's Groups: Exploring the Struggles of Building Collective Agency and Capabilities in a Rural Context

open access: yesGender, Work &Organization, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Collective action is often treated as a desirable and scalable outcome of participatory initiatives, yet far less attention has been paid to the conditions under which collective agency fails to consolidate. This article examines how collective agency is initiated but ultimately unravels within a grassroots women's initiative in a rural ...

Exact and metaheuristic approaches to minimizing makespan in parallel machine scheduling with conflicting jobs

open access: yesInternational Transactions in Operational Research, EarlyView.
Abstract We address the scheduling conflicting jobs on parallel identical machines problem with makespan minimization, a classical and computationally challenging variant of parallel machine scheduling. We develop and evaluate three distinct solution methodologies: a novel constraint programming (CP) formulation, and two metaheuristics: a multi ...

Optimization of structural assembly scheduling in the aeronautics industry

open access: yesInternational 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 ...

A genetic algorithm for scheduling an automated machine cell with tool and pallet–fixture setups

open access: yesInternational 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

open access: yesInternational 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.
