The flexible job shop scheduling problem (FJSP) is an NP-hard combinatorial optimization
problem, which has wide applications in the real world. The complexity and relevance of the …

Multiple jobs are processed simultaneously on a given batch processing machine in parallel
batching. The resulting batch is called a p-batch. Batching can lead to reduced production …

In this paper, a multiple classifier machine learning (ML) methodology for predictive
