Flexibility and automation in assembly lines can be achieved by the use of robots. The robotic assembly line balancing (RALB) problem is defined for robotic assembly line, where d...
The Shifting Bottleneck (SB) heuristic is among the most successful approximation methods for solving the Job Shop problem. It is essentially a machine based decomposition procedu...
In this paper we develop an open queueing network for optimal design of multi-stage assemblies, in which each service station represents a manufacturing or assembly operation. The...

In this study, we deal with the robotic cell scheduling problem with two machines and identical parts. In an ideal FMS, CNC machines are capable of performing all the required ope...
Two players are lost in a grid of city streets and wish to meet as soon as possible. Knowing only the distribution of the other's initial location (two nodes away in one of t...
