Findings: The proposed algorithm achieves an average efficiency of 99.32% compared to the enumeration algorithm, with minimal deviation (0.4%). The results validate the main proposition for efficient scheduling, including prioritizing jobs based on due dates, allocating job demands based on...

In modern Industry 4.0 environments, real-time scheduling presents a complex challenge requiring both formal correctness guarantees and optimal performance. Background: Traditional approaches fail to provide an optimal integration between formal correctness guaranteeing and optimization, and...

In an industry as competitive as ship repair, it is essential to outperform other shipyards. For a shipyard to be competitive and profitable, its management must continuously monitor and improve productivity, meet deadlines, and reduce costs. However, traditional project planning methods can...

This study presents an integrated framework combining multi-project scheduling, material procurement, and the hub location problem to simultaneously minimize project completion times and overall project and logistics costs. To address the challenge of allocating high-cost renewable resources, we...

The integration of diverse clean energy sources poses both challenges and opportunities for future energy systems. A critical issue that necessitates attention is the uncertainty related to clean energy production, as well as the complexities involved in optimizing its scheduling. This study...

Background: Urban rail transit ensures efficient mobility in densely populated metropolitan areas. This study focuses on the Cairo Metro Network and addresses the Rolling Stock Rotation Planning Problem (RSRPP), aiming to improve operational efficiency and service quality. Methods: A...

Background: Healthcare systems are increasingly strained by limited operating room resources and rising demand, a situation intensified by the COVID-19 pandemic. These pressures have resulted in overcrowded surgical departments, prolonged waiting times for elective procedures, worsened patient...

Background: Managing multiproduct pipeline systems is a complex task of critical importance in the petroleum industry. Experts frequently rely on simulation tools to design and validate pumping operation schedules. However, existing tools are often problem-specific and too slow to be effectively...

Background: The rapid growth of international maritime trade has intensified operational challenges at marine terminals due to increased interaction between vessels, trucks, and trains. Key issues include berth congestion, inefficient truck arrivals, and underutilization of terminal resources....
