Many kinds of scheduling systems have been installed for many kinds of manufacturing factories more than thirty years until now. A production scheduling system includes very important functions for production cost reduction and the improvement in customer satisfaction. However, not all systematization has been successful. Therefore, in order to realize homogeneous systematization to various kin...

Production scheduling problems and traditional differential evolution(DE) are analyzed in this paper. Taking the minimum of total completion time as the objective function of production scheduling, a production scheduling model is established for batch processes in process industry.Considering that the performance of the traditional DE algorithm is sensitive to the parameter settings,an adaptiv...

We use logic-based Benders decomposition to minimize tardiness in single-facility scheduling problems with many jobs and long time horizons. Release dates and due dates are given. A mixed integer linear programming (MILP) based master problem allocates jobs to segments of the time horizon, and a constraint programming (CP) based subproblem schedules the jobs in each segment.

Development of the blended learning module integrating remote laboratory experiments into Moodle learning environment for an engineering master course in DSP, is described in this paper. New Moodle block called Remote Lab View (RLV) is created allowing remote experiments time scheduling as well as synchronous chat session available for teacher present in the laboratory and for students who acce...

This paper presents a new ring topology for Bluetooth scatternets, ring of masters (ROM), and shows how this structure and its formation considerations contribute to the simplicity of routing and robustness of the scatternet. The scheduling scheme, ROM adaptive scheduling (RAS), dynamically allocates time slots at the intraand inter-piconet levels through a set of indicators that monitor node a...

The objective of multi-site scheduling is to support the scheduling activities of a global scheduler and schedulers in distributed production plants in a cooperative way. A global schedule generated on a global level must be translated into detailed schedules as part of the local scheduling process. In case of disturbance, feedback between the local and global levels is essential. Previous meth...

Manufacturing companies face a significant challenge when developing their master production schedule, navigating unforeseen disruptions during daily operations. Moreover, fluctuations in demand pose substantial risk to scheduling and are the main cause of instability uncertainty system. To address these challenges, employing flexible systems mitigate without incurring additional costs generate...

In several countries, home care is provided for certain citizens living at home. The long-term home care scheduling problem is to generate work plans such that a high quality of service is maintained, the work hours of the employees are respected, and the overall cost is kept as low as possible. We propose a branchand-price algorithm for the long-term home care scheduling problem. The pricing p...
