The permutation flowshop scheduling problem (PFSP) has been extensively explored in scheduling literature because it has many real-world industrial implementations. In some studies, multiple objectives related to production ...

In manufacturing scheduling, sustainability concerns that raise from the service-oriented performance criteria have seldom been studied in the literature. This study aims to fill this gap in the literature by integrating ...

Due to its practical relevance, the hybrid flowshop scheduling problem (HFSP) has been widely studied in the literature with the objectives related to production efficiency. However, studies regarding energy consumption ...

This paper deals with a new automatic guided vehicle (AGV) scheduling problem from the material handling process in a linear manufacturing workshop. The problem is to determine a sequence of Cells for AGV to travel to ...

Intelligent systems are wanting for cities to cope with limited spaces and resources across the world. As a result, smart cities emerged mainly as a result of highly innovative ICT industries and markets, and additionally, ...

The team orienteering problem with time windows (TOPTW) is a highly constrained NP-hard problem having many practical applications in vehicle routing and production scheduling. The TOPTW is an extended variant of the ...

Hospital facilities are known as functionally complex buildings. There are usually configurational problems that lead to inefficient transportation processes for patients, medical staff, and/or logistics of materials. The ...

Designing high-rise buildings is one of the complex tasks of architecture because it involves interdisciplinary performance aspects in the conceptual phase. The necessity for sustainable high-rise buildings has increased ...

In recent years, sustainable development and green manufacturing have attracted widespread attention to environmental problems becoming increasingly serious. Meanwhile, affected by the intensification of market competition ...

Distributed flow shop scheduling is a very interesting research topic. This paper studies the distributed permutation flow shop scheduling problem with mixed no-idle constraints, which have important applications in practice. ...

Nowadays, the distributed assembly permutation flowshop problem (DAPFSP) has important applications in practice. In this paper, we propose a group iterated local search (gILS) algorithm to solve the problem with total ...

In this paper, we study a distributed blocking flowshop scheduling problem (DBFSP) that is an extension of the traditional blocking flowshop scheduling problem (BFSP), in which an additional decision of which factory to ...

In this paper, we present a new heuristic to divide a batch of printed circuit boards (PCBs) into subgroups to save the setup time for loading and unloading components from the assembly machine. In the heuristic, we propose ...
