This paper deals with the Assembly Line Balancing Problem considering incompatibilities between the tasks with the aim of, first, minimizing the number of workstations and, then, ...
There are many resource restrictions in real production/inventory systems (for example, budget, storage, transportation capacity, etc.). But unlike other research areas, there is ...
This paper presents an evaluation of two orthogonal schemes for improving the efficiency of solving constraint satisfaction problems (CSPs). The first scheme involves a class of p...
This paper introduces a hybrid metaheuristic, the Variable Neighborhood Particle Swarm Optimization (VNPSO), consisting of a combination of the Variable Neighborhood Search (VNS) ...
Research on the optimization of Vehicle Routing Problem with Time Windows (VRPTW) is a significant investigation area of ant colony system (ACS). This paper proposes an enhanced AC...
