The past few years have witnessed a resurgence of interest in assembly flow shop
scheduling as evidenced by increasing number of published articles in this field. A basic …

Many activities in industry and services require the scheduling of tasks that can be
concurrently executed, the most clear example being perhaps the assembly of products …

Distributed hybrid flow shop scheduling (DHFS) problem has attracted much attention in
recent years; however, DHFS with actual processing constraints like assembly is seldom …

Distributed three-stage assembly scheduling problem extensively exists in the real-life
assembly production process and is seldom considered. The integration of reinforcement …

Nature-inspired optimization is an active area of research in the artificial intelligence (AI)
field and has recently been adopted in hydrology for the calibration (training) of both process …

In practical applications, particularly in flexible manufacturing systems, there is a high level
of uncertainty. A type-2 fuzzy logic system (T2FS) has several parameters and an enhanced …

Prefabricated construction has attracted research interest as it can significantly save energy
consumption. In this study, a distributed hybrid flow shop with family setup time in a typical …

Distributed assembly permutation flowshop scheduling problem (DAPFSP) has important
applications in modern assembly systems. In this paper, we present three variants of the …

Distributed scheduling problems have attracted much attention in recent years; however,
distributed hybrid flow shop scheduling problem (DHFSP) is seldom investigated. In this …

Two-stage hybrid flow shop scheduling has been extensively considered in single-factory
settings. However, the distributed two-stage hybrid flow shop scheduling problem (DTHFSP) …
