This paper focuses on a computational tool for scheduling sugarcane vehicles for dump
tippler machines operating at a sugar mill. This problem was defined as scheduling M …

The production and logistics operations planning in real-life single-or multi-site
semicontinuous food industries is addressed in this work. A discrete/continuous-time mixed …

This work considers a scheduling problem identified in a factory producing customised
Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) equipment. More specifically, the metal …

A novel line balancing problem is considered. It differs from assembly line balancing
problems in that the operations of each workstation are partitioned into blocks of …

It is assumed that all machines will be used in studies dealing with parallel machine
scheduling problems. However, for some businesses having special processes, where large …

We propose a polylithic method for medium-term scheduling of a large-scale industrial plant
operating in a continuous mode. The method combines a decomposition approach, a …

This paper presents an integrated approach for short-term supply chain management (SCM)
at a fast moving consumer goods production plant. The problem is to determine the …

This paper focuses on simultaneous optimisation of production planning and scheduling
problem over a time period for synchronous assembly lines. Differing from traditional top …
