Planning and Metaheuristic Optimization in Production Job Scheduler

In this work we present our positive experience with a unique advanced job scheduler which we have developed for the widely used TORQUE Resource Manager. Unlike common schedulers using queuing approach and simple heuristics, our solution uses planning (job schedule construction) and schedule optimization by a local search-inspired metaheuristic. Using both complex simulations and practical depl...

Integrated Production Planning and Route Scheduling in Pulp Mill Industry

In this paper we consider the complete supply chain for a large pulp producer in Sweden. The supply chain is divided up in two parts, the pulp production planning problem and the distribution to customers problem. We focus on the overall problem and the interaction between the partial problems and discuss how to solve these simultaneously in a supply chain logistic support system. We have model...

Dialog-Based Intelligent Operation Theatre Scheduler

Medical treatments planning and surgical operations scheduling are substantial elements of hospital management. Operations theatre scheduling deals with assignment of limited hospital resources (rooms, doctors, nurses, etc.) to jobs (patient treatments, surgery, etc.) over the time in order to perform tasks according to their needs and priorities, and to optimize usage of hospital resources [7]...
