Traditionally, assignment and scheduling decisions are made separately at different levels
of the production management framework. The combining of such decisions presents …

This study investigates a complex hybrid flow shop scheduling problem prevalent in the
industrial sector, characterized by dedicated machines, availability dates, and delivery times …

The car sequencing problem is the ordering of the production of a list of vehicles which are
of the same type, but which may have options or variations that require higher work content …

An automobile assembly line is usually configured as three successive shops in which the
body is constructed, painted, and then assembled together with all component parts into a …

Abstract The Car Sequencing Problem (CSP) is a feasibility problem that has attracted the
attention of the Constraint Programming community for a number of years now. In this paper …

In order to improve the solar cell conversion efficiency, a thin film of doped tin oxide (SnO2:
F) has been deposited by the spray-pyrolysis technique on a monocrystalline diffused silicon …

This paper studies the learning process in an ant colony optimization algorithm designed to
solve the problem of ordering cars on an assembly line (car-sequencing problem). This …

We study the strain response to steady imposed stress in a spatially homogeneous, scalar
model for shear thickening, in which the local rate of yielding Γ (l) of mesoscopic" elastic …

The car sequencing problem involves scheduling cars along an assembly line while
satisfying as many assembly line requirements as possible. The car sequencing problem is …
