Batch process scheduling and optimisation is a critical area of research that addresses the timing, sequencing, and allocation of production tasks in industries where manufacturing is carried out in ...

An important class of machine scheduling problems is characterized by a no-wait or blocking production environment, where there is no intermediate buffer between machines. In a no-wait environment, a ...
