Abstract The Parallel Machine Scheduling Problem (PMSP) has undergone significant
development in academic literature. The most recent comprehensive review of published …

In this paper, a survey of scheduling problems with due windows is presented. The due
window of a job is a generalization of the classical due date and it is a time interval in which …

Abstract Hybrid Flowshop Scheduling Problems (HFS) are among the most realistic machine
sequencing models there are. These problems deal with the scheduling of a set of jobs …

Over the past 20 years, the topic of order acceptance has attracted considerable attention
from those who study scheduling and those who practice it. In a firm that strives to align its …

This paper deals with earliness and tardiness scheduling around common due dates and
windows. Related problems share a strong practical importance due to the endogenous and …

In this paper, we address an unrelated parallel machine scheduling problem inspired by
aspects of semiconductor manufacturing and other production systems. The objective is to …

We consider the problem of scheduling n independent jobs on m unrelated parallel
machines with sequence-dependent setup times and availability dates for the machines and …

Due-window assignment and production scheduling are important issues in operations
management. In this study we investigate the problem of common due-window assignment …

We consider several integrated production, inventory, and delivery problems that arise in a
number of practical settings where customer orders have pre-specified delivery time …

The concept of parallel machines has been widely used in manufacturing. This article
proposes a genetic algorithm (GA) approach to minimize total tardiness of a set of tasks for …
