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 …

There is an extensive literature on models that integrate scheduling with batching decisions.
Jobs may be batched if they share the same setup on a machine. Another reason for …

The first comprehensive survey paper on scheduling problems with separate setup times or
costs was conducted by [Allahverdi, A., Gupta, JND, Aldowaisan, T., 1999. A review of …

Scheduling problems are combinatorial optimization problems in which some activities have
to be executed using resources that they need. A feasible allocation of the resources to the …

Since its inception, cloud computing has greatly transformed our lives by connecting the
entire world through shared computational resources over the internet. The COVID-19 …

A fleet of self-service systems, such as electric vehicle charging piles (EVCPs), is usually
installed in a specific location. During operation, these systems are subject to random …

A scheduling problem for a two‐stage flexible flow shop with s‐batching machines motivated
by processes in additive manufacturing is considered. A batch is a group of jobs that are …

We study a scheduling problem, in which jobs of two agents are performed in agent specific
batches on the same serial unbounded batching machine. On this machine, jobs of the …

We study the scheduling problem of minimising weighted completion times on parallel
identical batching machines with dynamic job arrivals and incompatible job families. Each …

As laser cutting and industrial 3D printing become increasingly important in many
companies, so do the scheduling problems associated with them: serial-batch (sb) and …
