Energy-Efficient Scheduling in Job Shop Manufacturing Systems: A Literature Review

Energy efficiency has become a major concern for manufacturing companies not only due to environmental concerns and stringent regulations, but also large incremental energy costs. Energy-efficient scheduling can be effective at improving thus reducing consumption associated costs, as well pollutant emissions. This work reviews recent literature on energy-efficient in job shop systems, with particular focus metaheuristics. We review 172 papers published between 2013 2022, by analyzing the floor type, strategy, objective function(s), newly added problem feature(s), solution approach(es). report existing data sets make them available research community. The paper is concluded pointing out potential directions future research, namely developing integrated approaches interconnected problems, fast metaheuristic methods respond dynamic hybrid big cyber-physical production systems.
