DOI: 10.1007/s10845-015-1129-2
Abstract: Generally, in handling traditional scheduling problems, ideal manufacturing system environments are assumed before determining effective scheduling. Unfortunately, “ideal environments” are not always possible. Real systems often encounter some uncertainties which will change the status of… read more here.
