Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to adopt fuzzy interpretive structural modeling (ISM) to develop a precise evaluation framework and provide a theoretical basis for enhancing the understanding of responsible consumption and production (RCP) in academic and industrial fields....

We consider an n-job, m-machine lot-streaming problem in a flowshop with equal-size sublots where the objective is to minimize the total weighted earliness and tardiness. To solve this problem, we first propose a so-called net benefit of movement (NBM) algorithm, which is much more efficient...

This paper is concerned with coordination aspects of supply chain management and, in particular, investigates setup coordination between two and three stages of a supply chain. The problem arises from a real application in the production chain of a kitchen furniture plant. In different stages of...

In the scheduling literature, it is often assumed that jobs arrive either simultaneously or individually. However, this assumption is invalid in most practical situations because jobs usually arrive in batches, e.g., the final testing house in the manufacturing of semiconductor. The concept of...
