We consider a problem of scheduling orders on identical parallel machines An order can be released after a given ready time and must be completed before its due date An order is split into multiple jobs (batches) and a job is processed on one of the parallel machines The objective of the scheduling

β¦ Synopsis
The parallel mechine scheduling problem with unrelated machines is studied where the objective is to minimize the maximum makespan. In this paper, new local search algorithms are proposed where the neighborhood search of a solution uses the "efficiency" of the machinea for each job. It is shown that this method yields better solutions and shorter running times than the more general local search heuristics.

## Abstract The world's second largest producer of pork, Danish Crown, also provides a fresh meat supply logistics system within Denmark. This is used by the majority of supermarkets in Denmark. This article addresses an integrated vehicle routing and driver scheduling problem arising at Danish Cro

In this paper, we are interested in job-shop scheduling problems with several unrelated parallel machines and precedence constraints between the operations of the jobs (with either linear or non-linear process routings). The objective is to minimize the maximum completion time (Cmax). We propose an
