Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThree Algorithms for Flexible Flow-shop SchedulingTzung-Pei Hong, Pei-Ying Huang, Gwoboa Horng, Chan-Lon WangScheduling is an important process widely used in manufacturing, production, management, computer science, and so on. Appropriate scheduling can reduce material handling costs and time. Finding good schedules for given sets of jobs can thus help factory supervisors effectively control job flows and provide solutions for job sequencing. In simple flow shop problems, each machine operation center includes just one … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 11 · 30 Nov 2007 · 6,969 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordA GENETIC ALGORITHM FOR A SIMULTANEOUS OPTIMISATION OF COST-RISK REDUCTION UNDER A JUST-IN-TIME ADAPTIONFaraj El Dabee, Romeo Marian, Yousef AmerJust-In-Time (JIT) as a lean manufacturing approach plays a significant role in minimising costs and performances of products and services supplied to the global marketplace. However, there are many potential risks that cause significant disruptions to all supply chain members. This study proposes a genetic approach for optimising a novel mathematical model for simultaneously minimising the total cost of a … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 10, Issue 12 · 26 Dec 2014 · 7,692 accessesView PDF Cite
