Efficient production resettings are necessary to achieve production flexibility. For this reason, most modern companies are trying to reduce the setup time required to switch the production from one product type to another. One way to minimise these times is to schedule correctly the various...

In this paper, new repair and rescheduling algorithms are developed for the unrelated parallel machine environment. The introduced rules and algorithms are used to handle different rates of breakdowns and delays and are evaluated based on several performance measures to ensure the optimisation...
