As. Alfa et al., A SCHEDULING PROBLEM IN A SEMIOPEN JOB-SHOP - THE CASE OF A CORDSET MANUFACTURING COMPANY, Mathematical and computer modelling, 20(2), 1994, pp. 1-8
We consider the scheduling of a cordset manufacturing process through
several operations. The department is a semi-open job shop. The first
and last operations are defined, but the remaining operations can be s
equenced in a semi-flexible manner. We present a mixed-integer program
ming formulation of this problem. Heuristic algorithms are presented f
or solving this problem.
