“…For the problem of m/N/C/CV a heuristic and the use of GA for sequencing the products and for determining the number of sublots were proposed (Kumar et al, 2000). Bukchin extended his previous work in m/1/C to n jobs, but this time allowing interleaving (Bukchin, Masin & Kirshner, 2010). Many researchers studied the no-wait FSLS problems not allowing interleaving but integer sizes (m/N/C/DV) were assumed (Hall, Laporte, Selvarajah & Sriskandarajah, 2003;Kim & Jeong, 2009;Kumar et al, 2000).…”
