The energy scheduling problem: Industrial case-study and constraint propagation techniques [PDF]
This paper deals with production scheduling involving energy constraints, typically electrical energy. We start by an industrial case-study for which we propose a two-step integer/constraint programming method.

Coordination of inbound and outbound transportation schedules with the production schedule [PDF]
We study the coordination of production and shipment schedules for a manufacturer.Both inbound and outbound transportation schedules are considered.The objective is to minimize the sum of inventory holding and transportation costs.Properties of the solution space, lower bounds are developed; a heuristic is proposed for large-size instances.

A deep reinforcement learning approach for chemical production scheduling
This work examines applying deep reinforcement learning to a chemical production scheduling process to account for uncertainty and achieve online, dynamic scheduling, and benchmarks the results with a mixed-integer linear programming (MILP) model that ...

Impact of Problems Associated with Scheduling and Capacity Planning of a Production Process – An Overview [PDF]
Production is one of the most important activities which guarantee the continued existence of man; however, it comes with its challenges which make it very difficult to meet up the consumer’s demand.

Reactive scheduling using a multi-agent model: the SCEP framework [PDF]
Multi-agent systems have been successfully applied to the scheduling problem for some time. However, their use often leads to poorly unsatisfactory disappointing results. A new multi-agent model, called supervisor, customers, environment, producers (SCEP)
