The third comprehensive survey on scheduling problems with setup times/costs

TL;DR: This paper is the third comprehensive survey paper which provides an extensive review of about 500 papers that have appeared since the mid-2006 to the end of 2014, including static, dynamic, deterministic, and stochastic environments, based on shop environments as single machine, parallel machine, flowshop, job shop, or open shop.

Parallel Machine Scheduling Under Time-of-Use Electricity Prices: New Models and Optimization Approaches

TL;DR: This paper studies the unrelated parallel machine scheduling problem under a TOU pricing scheme and reformulates the problem using Dantzig-Wolfe decomposition and proposes a column generation heuristic to solve it.

Exact algorithms for a scheduling problem with unrelated parallel machines and sequence and machine-dependent setup times

TL;DR: A branch-and-bound algorithm (B&B) is developed and a solution provided by the metaheuristic GRASP is used as an upper bound and a set of instances is proposed for this type of problem.

A discrete colonial competitive algorithm for hybrid flowshop scheduling to minimize earliness and quadratic tardiness penalties

TL;DR: A discrete version of colonial competitive algorithm is proposed to determine a schedule that minimizes sum of the linear earliness and quadratic tardiness in the hybrid flowshops scheduling problem with simultaneously considering effects of sequence-dependent setup times and limited waiting time.
