A well known industry application that allows controllable processing times is the manufacturing operations on CNC machines. For each turning operation as an example, there is a n...
When the processing times of jobs are controllable, selected processing times affect both the manufacturing cost and the scheduling performance.A well-known example for such a cas...
This paper considers the scheduling problems arising in two- and three-machine manufacturing cells configured in a flowshop which repeatedly produces one type of product and where ...
A framework to design simulation models is described in order to perform activity-based costing for flexible manufacturing systems before actual manufacturing activities. For illu...
As energy-related costs have become a major economical factor for IT infrastructures and data-centers, companies and the research community are being challenged to find better an...
