This paper presents a novel mathematical programming approach to the single-machine capacitated lot-sizing and scheduling problem with sequence-dependent setup times and setup costs. The approach is partly based on the earlier work of Haase and Kimms [2000. Lot sizing and scheduling with sequence-dependent setup costs and times and efficient rescheduling opportunities. International Journal of ...

In this paper, we address the feasibility issue in the job shop scheduling problem involving sequence dependent setup times and reentrancy. Feasibility properties are first developed for metaheuristic search methods. In addition, we present a modified version of the standard labelling algorithm. An alternative algorithm is also developed which requires negligible computing time and can directly...

This paper investigates a single machine scheduling problem with strong industrial background, named the prize-collecting single machine scheduling problem with sequence-dependent setup times. In this problem, there are n candidate jobs for processing in a single machine, each job has a weight (or profit) and a processing time, and during processing a symmetric sequence-dependent setup time exi...

Order acceptance and scheduling decisions arise when the limited production capacity entails a manufacturer to select among incoming orders. In this paper, we consider an order acceptance and scheduling problem in a single machine environment where the orders are processed without preemption and a sequence dependent setup time is incurred between processing of every consecutive order. The probl...

In this paper, a scheduling problem on non-identical parallel machines with auxiliary resources and sequence-dependent machine-dependent setup times is studied. This can be found in various manufacturing contexts, particular workshops of wafer facilities. Three different criteria are defined analyzed: The number products completed before the end given time horizon, weighted sum completion resou...

In this paper, a genetic algorithm is presented for an identical parallel-machine scheduling problem with family setup time that minimizes the total weighted flow time ( ). No set-up is necessary between jobs belonging to the same family. A set-up must be scheduled when switching from the processing of family i jobs to those of another family j, i  j, the duration of this set-up being the sequ...

Group scheduling is significant for efficient and cost effective production system. However, there exist setup times between the groups, which require to decrease it by sequencing groups in an efficient way. Current research is focused on a sequence dependent group scheduling problem with an aim to minimize the makespan in addition to minimize the total weighted tardiness simultaneously. In mos...

This article addresses the job-shop problem of minimizing the schedule length (makespan) for processing n jobs on two machines with sequence-dependent setup times and removal times. The processing of each job includes at most two operations that have to be non-preemptive. Machine routes may differ from job to job. If all setup and removal times are equal to zero, this problem is polynomially s...
