Journal ArticleDOI
A comparative study of a new heuristic based on adaptive memory programming and simulated annealing: The case of job shop scheduling
TL;DR: Computational results for the job shop scheduling problem clearly indicate that the proposed methods significantly outperform the conventional simulated annealing.
Journal ArticleDOI
A neural network for dispatching rule selection in a job shop
Ahmed El-Bouri,Pramit Shah +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigate an intelligent system that selects dispatching rules to apply locally for each machine in a job shop, based on a statistical characterization of the job mix.
Journal ArticleDOI
A cooperative dispatching approach for minimizing mean tardiness in a dynamic flowshop
TL;DR: Computational results indicate that Cooperative Dispatching outperforms the other dispatching rules, across a broad range of flowshop congestion and due-date tightness levels.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ranking dispatching rules in multi-objective dynamic flow shop scheduling: a multi-faceted perspective
Amar Oukil,Ahmed El-Bouri +1 more
TL;DR: The results reveal that the preferred DR shifts away from the Shortest Processing Time (SPT) rule to the Cost Over Time (COVERT) rule as due-date tightness becomes relaxed, which appears consistent with known performance expectations of these DRs under such settings.
Journal ArticleDOI
Application of a genetic algorithm to staff scheduling in retail sector
TL;DR: In this article, a genetic algorithm (GA) is developed for the retail staff scheduling problem, which is implemented and compared with a conventional integer programming branch-and-bound approach, and the performance of the algorithm is tested on six real-world problems.
