This paper aims at linking the work presented in Dauzère-Pérès et al. (1998) and more recently Kasapidis (2021) on multiresource flexible job-shop scheduling problem with nonlinear routes or equivalently arbitrary precedence graphs. In particular, we present a mixed integer linear programming (MIP) model constraint (CP) to formulate problem. We also compare theorems introduced propose new theor...

Flexible manufacturing Systems are automated manufacturing systems which have job shop flexibility and flow shop efficiency. One of the major concerns in Flexible Manufacturing System (FMS) is the minimization of the total flow of material through the system. Facility layout design deals with the arrangement of machines, in order to minimise the total flow of parts in the system. The commonly u...

Most production scheduling problems, including the standard flexible job-shop scheduling problem (FJSP), assume that machines are continuously available. However, in most realistic situations, machines may become unavailable during certain periods due to preventive maintenance (PM). In this paper, a flexible job-shop scheduling problem with machine availability constraints is considered. Each m...
