...K. Raj Kumar; T.T. Narendran Addresses the problem of sequencing a set of PCBs on a single assembling machine. Considers two objectives, namely minimizing tardiness and minimizing the set‐ups. Reduces component change‐overs by exploiting the similarity between PCBs. Proposes a new measure...

...Edem O.P. Akpan Examines a new approach to job‐shop sequencing problems. This is based on a network scheduling technique on the premiss of limited resource availability to achieve minimum total processing time. The method utilizes a resource allocation procedure based on random activity (job...

...Roger A. Lindau; Thomas Kanflo; Kenth R. Lumsden In a system where two material flows with sequence dependency are matched, the use of real‐time information to monitor and control the sequencing buffer improves the system′s ability to schedule many different models, compared with a system...

...Marilyn S. Jones; Roberta S. Russell While it is well known that managers make scheduling decisions based on multiple objectives, the majority of sequencing research is directed towards single criterion assessments of scheduling performance. A preference value decision model approach...
