Batch Scheduling in Flexible Flow Shop

In this paper, the problem of batch scheduling in a flexible flow shop environment is studied. It is assumed that machines in some stages are able to process a number of jobs simultaneously. The applications of this problem can be found in various industries including spring and wire manufacturing and in auto industry. A mixed integer programming formulation of the problem is presented and it i...

Modeling and scheduling no-idle hybrid flow shop problems

Although several papers have studied no-idle scheduling problems, they all focus on flow shops, assuming one processor at each working stage. But, companies commonly extend to hybrid flow shops by duplicating machines in parallel in stages. This paper considers the problem of scheduling no-idle hybrid flow shops. A mixed integer linear programming model is first developed to mathematically form...

Multiple Part Type Cyclic Flow Shop Robotic Cell Scheduling Problem; A Novel and Comprehensive Mixed Integer Programming Approach

This paper deals with the cyclic flow shop robotic cell scheduling problem with multiple single and dual gripper robots, in which multiple part types are processed on multiple machines successively with free, time-windows and no-wait pickup criteria. The robots execute the transportation of parts between the machines. A novel comprehensive mixed-integer linear programming model has been propose...
