Purpose In intelligent scheduling, parallel batch processing can reasonably allocate production resources and reduce … the production cost per unit product. Hence, the research on a parallel batch scheduling problem (PBSP) with uncertain job … manufacturing theory related to parallel batch scheduling but also provide ideas for relevant enterprises to solve problems. …

We consider the problem of scheduling a set of n jobs with arbitrary job sizes on a set of m identical and parallel … batch machines so as to minimize the makespan. Motivated by the computational complexity of the problem, we propose a meta …
