This paper introduces optimal batch scheduling algorithms for the problem of scheduling batches of bursts in optical burst switching networks. The problem is modelled as a job scheduling problem with identical machines. ...

In recent years, many companies have shifted from single-site production to more complex manufacturing environments involving multiple multiproduct facilities. At the operational level, the scheduling posed on each individual ...

This work introduces a novel MILP formulation for reactive scheduling of multiproduct batch plants to optimally generate updated schedules due to the occurrence of unforeseen events. It can also be used to improve a ...

The large number of studies addressing the scheduling problem in multiproduct batch plants with different units operating in parallel and out of phase at each stage highlights its importance in achieveing their efficient ...

A mathematical modeling framework for the simultaneous batching and scheduling of multiproduct batch plants is proposed in this work. The scheduling decisions are formulated according to campaign-based operation mode. When ...
