Planning and Scheduling in Manufacturing and Services |
This book focuses on planning and scheduling applications.The application areas considered in this book are divided into manufacturing applications and services applications. The book covers five areas in manufacturing: project scheduling, job shop scheduling, scheduling of flexible assembly systems, economic lot scheduling, and planning and scheduling in supply chains. It covers four areas in services: reservations and timetabling, tournament scheduling, planning and scheduling in transportation, and workforce scheduling. At the end of each chapter, a case study or a system implementation is described in detail.The book comes with a CD-ROM that contains various sets of powerpoint slides. The CD also contains several planning and scheduling systems that have been developed in academia as well as generic optimization software that has been developed in industry.

Handbook of Production Scheduling |
The Handbook of Production Scheduling concentrates on real-world production scheduling in factories and industrial settings. It includes industry case studies that use innovative techniques as well as academic research results that can be used to improve real-world production scheduling. Its purpose is to present scheduling principles, advanced tools, and examples of innovative scheduling systems to persons who could use this information to improve production scheduling in their own organization.

Human Performance in Planning and Scheduling |
Understanding how to make the best of human skills and knowledge is essential in the design of technology and jobs, particularly where these involve decision making and uncertainty. Human Performance in Planning and Scheduling covers many industries, including clothing, steel, machine tools, paper board, and the automobile industry. Using international case studies from various manufacturing industries, the authors show that that human scheduler is a pivotal element in the scheduling process.

Production Planning and Scheduling in Flexible Assembly Systems |
The book familiarizes the reader with the flexible assembly systems planning and scheduling issues and various operations research modelling and solution approaches. Some of the many topic highlights presented are the overall structure and components of a flexible assembly system, bi-objective integer programming models and algorithms for machine loading, assembly routing, and assembly plan selection, and fast combinatorial heuristics for scheduling flexible assembly lines with limited intermediate buffers. Also the book deals with just-in-time scheduling of flexible assembly lines, and dynamic dispatching algorithms for simultaneous scheduling of assembly stations and automated guided vehicles.

This comprehensive text explores the mathematical models underlying the theory of scheduling. Organized according to scheduling problem type, it examines three solution techniques: algebraic, probabilistic, and Monte Carlo simulation by computer. Topics include problems of sequence, measures for schedule evaluation, finite sequencing for a single machine, and further problems with one operation per job.

Scheduling Theory Multi-Stage Systems (Mathematics and Its Applications) |
This is one of two volumes devoted to single and multistage systems in scheduling theory respectively. The main emphasis throughout is on the analysis of the computational complexity of scheduling problems This volume is concerned with the problems of finding optimal schedules for systems comprising several sequential machines. More specifically, attention is largely given in separate chapters to three classical processing systems: the flow shop, the job shop, and the open shop.

Scheduling: Control-Based Theory and Polynomial-Time Algorithms |
This book presents the first attempt to systematically collect, classify, and solve various scheduling problems which could not be solved solely by combinatorics and mathematical programming. Although control and combinatorics are generally regarded as belonging to totally different areas of research and application, this book suggests a methodology for integrating them in a unique solution approach which draws upon the advantages of both mathematical tools. In this book, the reader will find a great number of fast, easy-to-implement algorithms for various production environments which current scheduling literature has not covered.
