      he Apparent Tardiness Cost (ATC) dispatching rule was initially developed to minimize tardiness in single machine scheduling problems. ATC extensions have been frequently applied in other production settings, relying heavily on blocking idle machine capacity with a single-machine outlook; this approach may not result in the best outcomes, considering that machines have different efficiencies. This ...
    • Variable Neighborhood-based Cuckoo Search for Production Routing with Time Window and Setup Times 

      Wu, Gen-Han; Cheng, Chen-Yang; Pourhejazy, Pourya; Fang, Bai-Lyn (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-06-23)
      Major corporations compete over the strengths of their supply chains. Integrating production and distribution operations helps improve supply chain connectedness and responsiveness beyond the standalone optimization norms. This study proposes an original Mixed-Integer Linear Programming (MILP) formulation for the Production scheduling-based Routing Problem with Time Window and Setup Times (PRP-TWST). ...
