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, we present a literature review, classification schemes and a simple meta-
analysis for scheduling of batch processors (SBP) research in semiconductor manufacturing …

In this paper, we discuss scheduling problems in semiconductor manufacturing. Starting
from describing the manufacturing process, we identify typical scheduling problems found in …

Over the last fifty-plus years, the increased complexity and speed of integrated circuits have
radically changed our world. Today, semiconductor manufacturing is perhaps the most …

Parallel machine scheduling problems with common servers have many industrial
applications. In this paper, we study a generalized problem of scheduling with a common …

This paper examines the Aircraft Sequencing Problem (ASP) over multiple runways, under
mixed mode operations with the objective of minimizing the total weighted tardiness of …

This paper investigates the scheduling problem of parallel identical batch processing
machines in which each machine can process a group of jobs simultaneously as a batch …

This research analyzes the problem of scheduling a set of n jobs with arbitrary job sizes and
non-zero ready times on a set of m unrelated parallel batch processing machines so as to …

A simulated annealing (SA) algorithm to minimize the makespan on a group of identical
batch processing machines arranged in parallel is presented. We consider the case where …

This research compares the performance of various heuristics and one metaheuristic for
unrelated parallel machine scheduling problems. The objective functions to be minimized …
