Knowledge-Based Approaches to Scheduling Problems: A Survey

Scheduling is the process of devising or designing a procedure for a particular objective, specifying the sequence or time for each item in the procedure. Qpical scheduling problems are railway time-tabling, project scheduling, production scheduling, and scheduling computer systems as in flexible manufacturing systems and multiprocessor scheduling. Further, there are a number of related problem...

Multicriteria scheduling problems: a survey

This paper presents a state-of-the-art survey on multicriteria scheduling and introduces a definition of a multicriteria scheduling problem. It provides a framework that allows to tackle multicriteria scheduling problems, according to Decision Aid concepts. This problem is decomposed into three different problems. The first problem is about obtaining a model. The second one is how to take crite...

A Survey of Solving Approaches for Multiple Objective Flexible Job Shop Scheduling Problems

Many real life scheduling problems can be formulated as Flexible Job Shop Scheduling Problems (FJSSPs) which simultaneously optimize several conflicting criteria. A typical feature of such problems is their high computational complexity. The purpose of this paper is to provide a review of the techniques, developed to solve multiple objective FJSSPs during the last decade. These techniques could...

Multi-objective Solution Approaches for Employee Shift Scheduling Problems in Service Sectors (RESEARCH NOTE)

Today, workforce scheduling programs are being implemented in many production and service centers. These sectors can provide better quality products and/or services to their customers, taking into account employees’ desires and preferences in order to increase sector productivity. In this study, an employee shift scheduling problem in the service sector is discussed. In the problem, the aim is ...
