The scheduling problem of multistage hybrid flowshop with multiprocessor tasks is a core topic for numerous industrial applications but under-represented in the research literature. In this study, a new hybrid immune algorithm based on the features of artificial immune systems and iterated...

The blocking flowshop scheduling problem has a strong industrial background but is under-represented in the research literature. In this study, a revised artificial immune system (RAIS) algorithm based on the features of artificial immune systems and the annealing process of simulated annealing...

The personnel task scheduling problem is a subject of commercial interest which has been investigated since the 1950s. This paper proposes an effective and efficient three-phase algorithm for solving the shift minimization personnel task scheduling problem (SMPTSP). To illustrate the increased...

Learning takes time and hence its effects should be considered in short-term production planning (i.e., scheduling). This is especially true when human involvement is high and the shop floor experiences changes in workflow, workforce, or technology. The Single-Machine Scheduling Problem (SMSP)...
