An iterated greedy algorithm (IGA) is a simple and powerful heuristic algorithm. It is widely
used to solve flow-shop scheduling problems (FSPs), an important branch of production …

Product disassembly plays a crucial role in the recycling, remanufacturing, and reuse of end-
of-use (EoU) products. However, the current manual disassembly process is inefficient due …

Smart mobile devices (SMDs) can meet users' high expectations by executing computational
intensive applications but they only have limited resources, including CPU, memory, battery …

The disassembly complexity of end-of-life products increases continuously. Traditional
methods are facing difficulties in solving the decision-making and control problems of …

Recycling, reusing, and remanufacturing of end-of-life (EOL) products have been receiving
increasing attention. They effectively preserve the ecological environment and promote the …

Width deviation is an important metric for evaluating the quality of a hot-rolled strip in steel
production systems. This paper considers a width deviation prediction problem and …

The artificial potential field approach is an efficient path planning method. However, to deal
with the local-stable-point problem in complex environments, it needs to modify the potential …

Group scheduling problems have attracted much attention owing to their many practical
applications. This work proposes a new bi-objective serial-batch group scheduling problem …

It is well-recognized that obsolete or discarded products can cause serious environmental
pollution if they are poorly be handled. They contain reusable resource that can be recycled …

This paper addresses disassembly line scheduling problems (DLSP) to minimize the
smoothing index with the workstation number threshold. First, a mathematical model is …
