Lot streaming combined lot splitting with operations overlap** is one of the effective
techniques used to implement the time-based strategy in today's era of global competition …

In this paper we present a review of the literature on lot streaming. Lot streaming is a
technique that accelerates the flow of a product through a production system by splitting its …

Hybrid flow shop scheduling problems are encountered in many real-world manufacturing
operations such as computer assembly, TFT-LCD module assembly, and solar cell …

Lot-streaming is an effective technology to enhance the production efficiency by splitting a
job or a lot into several sublots. It is commonly assumed that lot-splitting (ie job-splitting) is …

In this paper, we consider a simplified real-life identical parallel machine scheduling
problem with sequence-dependent setup times and job splitting to minimize makespan. We …

As the lot-streaming concept has been used widely to reduce the makespan in a production
system, most research has investigated the flow shop production systems; however, job …

A Hybrid Genetic Algorithm (HGA) approach is proposed for a lot-streaming flow shop
scheduling problem, in which a job (lot) is split into a number of smaller sublots so that …

In this paper we study the multi-job lot-streaming problem in two-stage hybrid flowshops with
m identical machines at the first stage and a single machine at the second stage. The …

Wright's (1936) learning curve (WLC) depicts that the time required to accomplish a
repetitive operation decreases with each subsequent repetition. The WLC model assumes …

As a subcategory of the classical flow shop scheduling problem, the ordered flow shop
scheduling problem deals with the case where processing times follow a specific structure …
