Scheduling Optimization of Manufacturing and Service Environments with Time-Lag Constraints

The objective of this proposal is to further advance my research program in the realm of the no-wait and time-lag scheduling optimization. No-wait constraints denote that there should be no waiting time between consecutive operations of a job, which is a fundamental assumption in certain environments. Scheduling problems with time-lag constraints are a generalization of their no-wait version. Time-lag constraints force the jobs or the operations of the jobs to start or finish within a certain time window after the previous jobs or operations are completed. No-wait and time-lag constraints model situations in which a long delay between the starting time of an operation and the finish time of the previous operations is discouraged because it may damage or deteriorate the product.
