Manufacturing process planning is the process of selecting and sequencing manufacturing
processes such that they achieve one or more goals and satisfy a set of domain constraints …

Process planning and scheduling functions strongly influence profitability of manufacturing a
product, resource utilisation and product delivery time. Several researchers have addressed …

As a result of rapid developments in production technologies in recent years, flexible job-
shop scheduling problems have become increasingly significant. This paper deals with two …

This paper addresses the integrated problem of process planning and scheduling in job
shop flexible manufacturing systems. Due to production flexibility, it is possible to generate …

With the rapid development in computer technologies, mathematical programming-based
technique to solve scheduling problems is significantly receiving attention from researchers …

This paper studies the flexible assembly job-shop scheduling problem in a dynamic
manufacturing environment, which is an exension of job-shop scheduling with incorporation …

This paper proposes a genetic algorithm GA\_JS GA _ JS for solving distributed and flexible
job-shop scheduling (DFJS) problems. A DFJS problem involves three scheduling …

A flexible job-shop scheduling problem (FJSP) with parallel batch processing machines
(PBM) is addressed. First, we exhibit an enhanced mixed integer programming (MIP) model …

Traditionally, process planning and scheduling for parts were carried out in a sequential
way, where scheduling was done after process plans had been generated. Considering the …

Alternative operation sequences and sequence-dependent setups are two important factors
that frequently appear in various manufacturing environments and in project scheduling …
