This paper presents a "branch and bound" algorithm for the following problem: given a project consisting of a set of activities partially ordered by a set of precedence restrictions, with each ...

Abstract: Existing algorithms for the two-stage assembly scheduling problem (TASP) ignores the setup time and depends on four or more fine-tuned parameters. This work focuses on TASPs with separated ...

The "branch-and-bound" algorithm for the exact solution of a three-machine scheduling problem proposed by Lomnicki has been generalized to the case of an arbitrary number of machines (under the ...

The Branch-and-bound (B&B) algorithm is the main solver for Mixed Integer Linear Programs (MILPs), where the selection of branching variable is essential to computational efficiency. However, ...

Abstract: In the assembly line balancing problem, operations are assigned to stations to achieve large-scale production. However, in practical production, operations can be processed by multiple ...

This project implements a Branch and Bound (B&B) algorithm to solve the Agile Earth Observation Satellite Scheduling (AEOSS) problem — a complex NP-hard combinatorial optimization challenge. The ...

This example illustrates a nonstandard use of PROC NETDRAW. The TREE option in PROC NETDRAW is used to draw a branch and bound tree such as one that you obtain in the solution of an integer ...
