Hedging Manufacturing Systems Against Assorted Random Disruptions in a Dynamic Environment

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a new concept with simulation results as a case study to determine the actual impact of schedule deviation in the presence of random disruptions, and show how the rescheduling parameters and emerged disruptions affect the efficiency and mainly stability of the schedule execution.

Project scheduling with modular project completion on a bottleneck resource

TL;DR: In this article, the authors model a research and development project as consisting of several modules, with each module containing one or more activities, and examine how to schedule the activities of such a project in order to maximize the expected profit when the activities have a probability of failure and when an activity's failure can cause its module and thereby the overall project to fail.
