Beck et al. [2019. Integration of energy aspects into the economic lot scheduling problem. International Journal of Production Economics 209, 399-410] extended the Economic Lot Scheduling Problem (ELSP) to account for energy costs as well as tool change and inventory holding costs. In...

The current schedule management practices by the Korean Engineer, Procure, Construct companies are unsustainable. These companies are, on average, experiencing margin losses as high as -7.2%, mainly attributed to expensive construction acceleration or significant delay liquidated damages (DLDs)...

In this paper, we introduce an integrated schedule of order picking and delivery for instant delivery. The schedule of order picking, including order batching and picking sequencing, is formulated considering order delivery by depicting orders' location dispersion. The online schedule of order...

Project scheduling is one of the core elements of project management, which is essential for engineering-to-order manufacturing companies to improve productivity, reduce costs and shorten project finish time. This paper explores the multi-mode project scheduling problem under resource and finish...

Ambulances, one of the essential resources in the emergency medical service (EMS), are crucial in transporting patients to hospitals and saving their lives. This research considers an ambulance services scheduling problem (ASSP) for a daily planning decision by minimizing the total weighted...

This study was conducted to investigate the problem of robust integrated project scheduling and material ordering in terms of resource constraints, uncertainty, and lag times. Simultaneous consideration of discount, non-renewability, perishability, uncertainty, and different project...

Advance patient scheduling plays a pivotal role in improving service quality and ensuring efficiency in healthcare systems. It is a daily task that health providers need to deal with in order to minimize patients' waiting times while trying to utilize the available resources efficiently. Despite...

Internet healthcare is becoming increasingly popular, which allows doctor–patient communication through messages, phone calls, or videos. Considering stochastic heterogeneous behaviors of patients and physicians (e.g. time-dependent no-shows, service times), it is critical to determine the...

Overall energy efficiency is crucial for green production and carbon dioxide emission, especially for energy-intensive industries such as steel making. To deal with unrelated parallel machine scheduling for steelmaking-continuous casting that is the bottleneck and energy-intensive process, this...
