Shop scheduling in manufacturing environments: a review

“…Arsovski et al (2009) stated that APS systems represent the most relevant innovation in planning processes since the introduction of MRP systems in the 1970s. Literature reviews about APS systems can be found in Comelli et al (2008), Tyagi et al (2013), andde Sousa et al (2014).…”

“…Zhang and Wong (2018) presented an improved ant colony approach for the IPPS problem, designed to fit the specific characteristics of IPPS. Although the IPPS problem will be the object of Section 4.2, we anticipate that literature reviews about this subject can be found in Maravelias and Sung (2009), Li et al (2010), Phanden et al (2011), de Sousa et al (2014, and Li and Gao (2020d).…”
