This work investigates a relaxation of the problem related to the traveling salesman problem with time windows (TSPTW), based on a Branch and Bound procedure, including constraint propagation, and compares favorably over the best available approaches from the literature on a set of benchmark instances.
Abstract
We propose a new solution approach for the Job Shop Problem with Sequence Dependent Setup Times (SDST-JSP) The problem consists in scheduling jobs, each job being a set of elementary operations to be processed on different machines The objective pursued is to minimize the completion time of the set of operations We investigate a relaxation of the problem related to the traveling salesman problem with time windows (TSPTW) Our approach is based on a Branch and Bound procedure, including constraint propagation and using this relaxation It compares favorably over the best available approaches from the literature on a set of benchmark instances

A survey of scheduling problems with setup times or costs

TL;DR: An extensive review of the scheduling literature on models with setup times (costs) from then to date covering more than 300 papers is provided, which classifies scheduling problems into those with batching and non-batching considerations, and with sequence-independent and sequence-dependent setup times.

A branch and bound method for the job-shop problem with sequence-dependent setup times

TL;DR: A new method to solve the makespan minimization problem to optimality is proposed based on iterative solving via branch and bound decisional versions of the problem, which allows to close previously unsolved benchmark instances of the literature and also provides new lower and upper bounds.

Local search and genetic algorithm for the job shop scheduling problem with sequence dependent setup times

TL;DR: This paper extends a genetic algorithm and a local search method that demonstrated to be efficient in solving the Job Shop Scheduling Problem with Sequence Dependent Setup Times (SDST-JSP), and formalized neighborhood structures that generalize three well-know structures defined for the JSP.

An algorithm for solving the job-shop problem

TL;DR: In this paper, a branch and bound method for solving the job-shop problem is proposed, which is based on one-machine scheduling problems and is made more efficient by several propositions which limit the search tree by using immediate selections.

The Job Shop Scheduling Problem: Conventional and new Solution Techniques

TL;DR: A job shop consists of a set of different machines that perform operations on jobs, each job is composed of an ordered list of operations each of which is determined by the machine required and the processing time on it.
