Fulkerson and Ford's algorithm proved effective enough, but it often didn't produce the best possible flow: If other routes were cut off and suboptimal jams emerged, so be it. The subsequent 70 ...

This paper proposes an Effective biogeography-based optimization (EBBO) algorithm for solving the flow shop scheduling problem with intermediate buffers to minimize the Total flow time (TFT). Discrete ...

The Reentrant Flexible Flow Shop Scheduling Problem (RFFSP) involves multiple repetitions of job processing in the production system, which leads to higher scheduling complexity. To solve the RFFSP, ...
