Scheduling a proportionate flow shop of batching machinesJournal of Scheduling - Tập 23 - Trang 575-593 - 2020
Christoph Hertrich, Christian Weiß, Heiner Ackermann, Sandy Heydrich, Sven O. Krumke
In this paper we study a proportionate flow shop of batching machines with
release dates and a fixed number $$m \ge 2$$ of machines. The scheduling problem
has so far barely received any attention in the literature, but recently its
importance has increased significantly, due to applications in the industrial
scaling of modern bio-medicine production processes. We show that for any fixed
number of... hiện toàn bộ
Coupled task scheduling with time-dependent processing timesJournal of Scheduling - Tập 24 - Trang 223-236 - 2021
Mostafa Khatami, Amir Salehipour
The single machine coupled task scheduling problem includes a set of jobs, each
with two separated tasks, and there is an exact delay between the tasks. We
investigate the single machine coupled task scheduling problem with the
objective of minimizing the makespan under identical processing time for the
first task and identical delay period for all jobs, and the time-dependent
processing time sett... hiện toàn bộ
Assigning multiple activities to work shiftsJournal of Scheduling - Tập 15 - Trang 239-251 - 2010
Quentin Lequy, Mathieu Bouchard, Guy Desaulniers, François Soumis, Beyime Tachefine
In some companies such as large retail stores, the employees perform different
activities (e.g., cashier or clerk in a specific department) to respond to a
customer demand for each activity that varies over the planning horizon and must
be fulfilled as soon as possible. For a given time period, this demand
translates into an ideal number of employees required for the corresponding
activity. During... hiện toàn bộ
Review of real-time vehicle schedule recovery methods in transportation servicesJournal of Scheduling - Tập 17 - Trang 541-567 - 2013
Monize Sâmara Visentini, Denis Borenstein, Jing-Quan Li, Pitu B. Mirchandani
This paper presents a comprehensive review on methods for real-time schedule
recovery in transportation services. The survey concentrates on published
research on recovery of planned schedules in the occurrence of one or several
severe disruptions such as vehicle breakdowns, accidents, and delays. Only
vehicle assignment and rescheduling are reviewed; crew scheduling and passenger
logistics proble... hiện toàn bộ
Scheduling multiple divisible loads in homogeneous star systemsJournal of Scheduling - Tập 11 - Trang 347-356 - 2008
M. Drozdowski, M. Lawenda
In this paper we analyze scheduling multiple divisible loads on a star-connected
system of identical processors. It is shown that this problem is computationally
hard. Some special cases appear to be particularly difficult, so it is not even
known if they belong to the class NP. Exponential algorithms and special cases
solvable in polynomial time are presented.
Simultaneous scheduling and location (ScheLoc): the planar ScheLoc makespan problemJournal of Scheduling - Tập 12 - Trang 361-374 - 2008
Donatas Elvikis, Horst W. Hamacher, Marcel T. Kalsch
While in classical scheduling theory the locations of machines are assumed to be
fixed we will show how to tackle location and scheduling problems
simultaneously. Obviously, this integrated approach enhances the modeling power
of scheduling for various real-life problems. In this paper, we introduce in an
exemplary way theory and three polynomial solution algorithms for the planar
ScheLoc makespan... hiện toàn bộ
Optimally rescheduling jobs with a Last-In-First-Out bufferJournal of Scheduling - - 2021
Gaia Nicosia, Andrea Pacifici, Ulrich Pferschy, Julia Resch, Giovanni Righini
AbstractThis paper considers single-machine scheduling problems in which a given
solution, i.e., an ordered set of jobs, has to be improved as much as possible
by re-sequencing the jobs. The need for rescheduling may arise in different
contexts, e.g., due to changes in the job data or because of the local objective
in a stage of a supply chain that is not aligned with the given sequence. A
common ... hiện toàn bộ
Optimal and online preemptive scheduling on uniformly related machinesJournal of Scheduling - Tập 12 - Trang 517-527 - 2009
Tomáš Ebenlendr, Jiří Sgall
We consider the problem of preemptive scheduling on uniformly related machines.
We present a semi-online algorithm which, if the optimal makespan is given in
advance, produces an optimal schedule. Using the standard doubling technique,
this yields a 4-competitive deterministic and an e≈2.71-competitive randomized
online algorithm. In addition, it matches the performance of the previously
known alg... hiện toàn bộ
Late acceptance hill-climbing for high school timetablingJournal of Scheduling - Tập 19 - Trang 453-465 - 2015
George H. G. Fonseca, Haroldo G. Santos, Eduardo G. Carrano
The application of the Late Acceptance Hill-Climbing (LAHC) to solve the High
School Timetabling Problem is the subject of this manuscript. The original
algorithm and two variants proposed here are tested jointly with other
state-of-art methods to solve the instances proposed in the Third International
Timetabling Competition. Following the same rules of the competition, the
LAHC-based algorithms ... hiện toàn bộ
