Industry 4.0 introduced a new change in paradigms and technologies the industry. In shop schedule, it gains holistic viewpoint online demands, real-time reactive methodologies. Developments scheduling area are critical to success. First addressed by Brucker Schlie 1990, Flexible Job-Shop Scheduling Problem has been attracting researchers practitioners over last decades. This body of research ma...

Flexible flow shop scheduling problem (also called blended flow shop scheduling problem) is a sort of complex Job Shop Scheduling problem. For the Flexible Flow Shop scheduling problem, only in very special cases, there are polynomial optimal algorithms. In most of the other cases, the problems are NP-Hard. It is a simplification of the original problem to solve Flexible flow shop scheduling wi...

This paper addresses the application of AI techniques in a practical OR problem , i.e. scheduling. Scheduling is a scientific domain concerning the allocation of tasks to a limited set of resources over time. The goal of scheduling is to maximize (or minimize) different optimization criteria such as the makespan (i.e. the completion time of the last operation in the schedule), the occupation ra...

This paper studies the single hoist scheduling problem in no-wait flexible flow shop system with constant process times. The objective is to minimize the make span in the given job tasks. Different jobs have different process routes and process times. When a job starts, workstation must be free to process the job, and as soon as it is finished, the hoist must be free to move it to the next work...

This work studies the performance of two Mixed Integer Linear Programming (MILP) models to solve scheduling problems in a flexible job shop environment with recirculation and assembly using a due-date-based objective function. The models convey different approaches both in the modelling of time (discrete and continuous approaches) as well as in the assignment of jobs to machines. The comparison...

This paper considers how the demand for non-material aspects of jobs evolves over changing wealth levels and how firms may want to react. We first consider the importance of non-material job aspects in general before turning to two specific human resource practices: flexible working hour arrangements and employer pension provision. In order to estimate the effect of wealth on job preferences wi...

Flexible job-shop scheduling problem (FJSP) in the field of production scheduling presents a quite difficult combinatorial optimization problem. Machines are mostly considered to be the only resource in many research projects dealing with FJSP. In actual production, there are many other factors which influence production scheduling, such as transportation, storage and detection. If machines are...

With the rapid trend of the human resources strategy of the globalization, dispatched work becomes the result of flexible human resource using. Dispatched work as a newly risen service industry, belong to the short term and more flexibility work styles and make the firms cost down for the manpower requested. This study probes into the manpower coordinate with the agency workers needs the correl...

Competitiveness and rapid expansion of flexible manufacturing system (FMS) as one of the industrial alternatives has attracted many practitioners’ and academicians’ interest. Recent globalization events have further encouraged FMS development into distributed, self-reliant units of production center. The flexible manufacturing system in distributed system (FMSDS) considers multi-factory environ...

Education in a "Job Ladder" Model and the "Fairness-in-Hiring" Rule Jagdish N. Bhagwati and T. N. Srinivasan Education turns a person into a different 'kind of labor. Any economic analysis of education therefore must be based on a theory as to what this difference consists in; it must also presuppose a theory as to how the market for this kind of labor functions. This paper proposes and analyze...
