We analyze machine flexibility in the context of the flexible job shop problem. In general, the decisions about machine flexibility are taken in advance (the data sets already contain this information). Based on a mathematical ...

This paper considers the Flexible Job-shop Scheduling Problem with Operation and Processing flexibility (FJSP-OP) with the objective of minimizing the makespan. A Genetic Algorithm based approach is presented to solve the ...

The flexible Job-shop Scheduling Problem (fJSP) considers the execution of jobs by a set of candidate resources while satisfying time and technological constraints. This work, that follows the hierarchical architecture, ...

The job-shop production scheduling activity is at the most detailed and complex level of a production planning and control system. The Flexible Job-shop Scheduling Problem (FJSP) is an extension of the job-shop scheduling ...

Production planning and scheduling of machined-to-order parts in a job shop involves lot sizing and scheduling decisions. In this environment, there are several machines capable to execute various operations. Several ordered ...
