A Hybrid Tabu Search Algorithm for the Variable Periodic Vehicle Routing Problem
This paper presents a real-life variable periodic vehicle routing problem (VPVRP) which is originated from an auto parts company. The idea of lean production has been applied in the production of the auto part...

Scheduling a Hybrid Flow-Shop Problem via Artificial Immune System
This paper investigates a two-stage hybrid flowshop problem with a single batch processing machine in the first stage and a single machine in the second stage. In the problem, each job has an individual releas...

Makespan minimization for two parallel machines with an unavailable period on each machine
In this paper, we consider a two parallel machine problem where each machine has a fixed and known unavailable period. The objective is to minimize the makespan. In the literature, the problem has been conside...

Minimizing the Range of Order Completion Times with Multiple Job Classes
A number of important contributions have been made toward the problem of minimizing the difference in ‘customer’ treatment on a single machine. However, so far, all the research has been to solve the problem o...

Minimizing the Number of Machine Idle Intervals with Minimum Makespan in a Flow-Shop
This paper considers a selected sequence in a permutation flow-shop. The objective is to minimize the number of machine idle intervals with minimum makespan (or total production time) for this selected sequenc...

An Improved Formulation for the Job-Shop Scheduling Problem
This paper presents an extension of an earlier integer programming model developed by other authors to formulate a general n-job, m-machine job-shop problem. The new formulation involves substantially fewer funct...

An Algorithm for Minimizing the Range of Lateness on a Single Machine
This paper considers the problem of minimizing the range of lateness on a single machine. All the algorithms in the literature for solving this problem are based on the branch-and-bound approach, which has an ...
