“…Wang, Zhu, and Cheng (2015) studied a subcontracting price scheme for the static order acceptance and scheduling problem in a single machine environment. The multi-order static problem has also been studied in a multiple machines environment (Chen, Mestry, Damodaran, & Wang, 2009;Pourbabai, 1989;Roundy et al, 2005;Wang, Huang, Hu, & Cheng, 2015;Wang, Xie, & Cheng, 2013a, 2013b. Wang et al (2013a) developed a modified artificial bee colony algorithm for solving the order acceptance problem in two machine static multiple-order PFSPs.…”
