Research interests have been focused on the concept of penalizing jobs both for being early and for being tardy because not only of modern competitive industrial challenges of providing a variety of products at a very low cost by smoothing productions but also of its increasing and exciting computer applications. Here, sequencing approaches of the mixed- model just-in-time production systems is...

Testing complex manufacturing systems, such as an ASML [1] lithographic machine, takes up to 45% of the total development time of a system. The problem of which tests must be executed in what sequence to ensure in the shortest possible test time that the system works, the test sequencing problem, was already solved by Pattipati [2], [3] for the diagnosis of systems during operation. Test sequen...

We introduce the batch sequencing problem (BSP) with item and batch availability for the singlemachine and two-machine ow-shop case. We propose a genetic algorithm which solves the BSP through a decomposition into a Phase I-Batching and a Phase II-Scheduling decision. The batch sequencing problem is closely related to the discrete lotsizing and scheduling problem (DLSP). Computational experienc...

Three experiments were designed to test whether perception and action are coordinated in a way that distinguishes sequencing from timing (Pfordresher, 2003). Each experiment incorporated a trial design in which altered auditory feedback (AAF) was presented for varying lengths of time and then withdrawn. Experiments 1 and 2 included AAF that resulted in action-effect asynchronies (delayed audito...

The discrete lotsizing and scheduling problem for one machine with sequence dependent setup times and setup costs is solved as a single machine scheduling problem, which we term the batch sequencing problem. The relationship between the lotsizing problem and the batch sequencing problem is analyzed. The batch sequencing problem is solved with a branch & bound algorithm which is accelerated by b...

Computer-aided process planning (CAPP) is an essential component in linking computer-aided design (CAD) and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM). Operation sequencing in CAPP is an essential activity. Each sequence of production operations which is produced in a process plan cannot be the best possible sequence every time in a changing production environment. As the complexity of the product incr...

objective: leishmaniasis is caused by parasitic protozoa of the genus leishmania which in the infected host is obligate intracellular parasite. lack gene is conserved among related leishmania species. lack is the immuno-dominant antigen of l.major which is considered as the most promising molecule for a recombinant or dna vaccine against leishmaniasis. materials and methods: in this study the ...
