The single machine total weighted tardiness problem with sequence-dependent setup times
(often known as problem) requires a given set of jobs to be sequenced on a single machine …

This work proposes a unified heuristic algorithm for a large class of earliness–tardiness (E–
T) scheduling problems. We consider single/parallel machine E–T problems that may or may …

In this paper, a scheduling problem on a single machine producing dairy products subject to
variable due dates, earliness and tardiness penalty costs and sequence dependent setup …

This paper concerns the single machine total weighted tardiness scheduling with sequence-
dependent setup times, usually referred as 1| s ij|∑ wj T j. In this NP-hard problem, each job …

In this paper, a memetic algorithm with a variable block insertion heuristic is presented to
solve the single machine total weighted tardiness problem with sequence dependent setup …

A large number of changeovers exist in multi-item and small lot size production mode, which
lead to a long setup time and significantly influence productivity. However, setup time has …

This paper addresses the integration of process planning and scheduling (IPPS) with
sequence dependent setup times for a case from the electrical wires and power cables …

This paper deals with the integrated production planning and scheduling over a finite
horizon for synchronous automobile assembly lines. We present a mixed integer …

University professors all over the world are facing an increasing challenges to publish more
and more high quality papers, get funds, and improve their citation indices. In many scientific …

It is important for people to select the proper leisure destinations to spend their vacations.
Each vacation location would have its own expenses, own entertainment, and own risks …
