Sustainable manufacturing requires simultaneous consideration of economic,
environmental, and social implications associated with the production and delivery of goods …

Decrease in product life along with the advent of stringent regulations and environmental
consciousness have led to increased concern for methodological product recovery through …

This paper presents an ant colony optimization (ACO) algorithm in an agent-based system to
integrate process planning and shopfloor scheduling (IPPS). The search-based algorithm …

This paper proposes an ant colony optimisation-based software system for solving FMS
scheduling in a job-shop environment with routing flexibility, sequence-dependent setup …

This study develops an enhanced ant colony optimization (E-ACO) meta-heuristic to
accomplish the integrated process planning and scheduling (IPPS) problem in the job-shop …

This paper proposes a swarm intelligence approach based on a disjunctive graph model in
order to schedule a manufacturing system with resource flexibility and separable setup …

In general, distributed scheduling problem focuses on simultaneously solving two issues:(i)
allocation of jobs to suitable factories and (ii) determination of the corresponding production …

Traditionally, process planning and scheduling were performed sequentially, where
scheduling was done after process plans had been generated. Considering the fact that …

Long videos captured by consumers are typically tied to some of the most important
moments of their lives, yet ironically are often the least frequently watched. The time required …

Distributed Scheduling (DS) problems have attracted attention by researchers in recent
years. DS problems in multi-factory production are much more complicated than classical …
