Scheduling problems with multiple maintenance activities and non-preemptive jobs on two identical parallel machines

K Sun, H Li - International Journal of Production Economics, 2010 - Elsevier
This paper deals with the problem of processing a set of n jobs on two identical parallel
machines. In order to reduce the probability of machine breakdown with minor sacrifices in …

A new unrelated parallel machine scheduling problem with tool changes to minimise the total energy consumption

L Zhang, Q Deng, G Gong, W Han - International Journal of …, 2020 - Taylor & Francis
The previous studies on scheduling problem with tool changes take processing time as the
only reason for the tool wear, which is not accurate in the real manufacturing system. This …

Optimization models for the machine scheduling problem with a single flexible maintenance activity

JS Chen - Engineering Optimization, 2006 - Taylor & Francis
The majority of machine scheduling literature assumes that machines are available at all
times. However, this assumption is inappropriate in certain real world situations. This study …
