Production scheduling is one of the very important problems that industry and production are confronted with it. Production scheduling is often planned in the industrial environments while productivity in production can improve significantly the expansion of simultaneous optimization of the scheduling plan. Production scheduling and production are two areas that have attracted much attention in...

In this paper we address a multi-objective scheduling problem for unrelated parallel machines. In unrelated parallel systems, the processing cost/time of a given job on different machines may vary. The objective of scheduling is to simultaneously determine the job-machine assignment and job sequencing on each machine. In such a way the total cost of the schedule is minimized. The cost function ...

Nowadays, by successful application of on time production concept in other concepts like production management and storage, the need to complete the processing of jobs in their delivery time is considered a key issue in industrial environments. Unrelated parallel machines scheduling is a general mood of classic problems of parallel machines. In some of the applications of unrelated parallel mac...

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...

<p style='text-indent:20px;'>We consider parallel-machine scheduling in the context of shared manufacturing where each job has a machine set to which it can be assigned for processing. Such is called processing set. In setting, not only certain machines processing, but also processed on remaining at cost. Compared with traditional rejection, model under study embraces notion sustainable m...

We study classic machine sequencing problems in an online setting. Specifically, we look at deterministic and randomized algorithms for the problem of scheduling jobs with release dates on identical parallel machines, to minimize the sum of weighted completion times: Both preemptive and non-preemptive versions are analyzed. Using linear programming techniques, borrowed from the single machine c...
