This research is a further development of our recent papers [2, 3]. A production system produces a given target amount by a given due date and has several possible speeds which are subject to random disturbances. The system's output can be measured only at present inspection (control) points....

Consider an m-machine production line for processing identical parts served by a mobile robot. The problem is to find the minimum cycle time for 2-cyclic schedules, in which exactly two parts enter and two parts leave the production line during each cycle. This work treats a special case of the...

We are concerned with a problem of scheduling a flexible manufacturing cell with random time operations. A job-shop production section comprises a set of n jobs (orders) and a set of m machines (processors). Each order consists of a chain of operations, each of which needs to be executed during...
