Algorithms for Scheduling Problems

This edited book presents new results in the area of algorithm development for different types of scheduling problems. In eleven chapters, algorithms for single machine problems, flow-shop and job-shop scheduling problems (including their hybrid (flexible) variants), the resource-constrained project scheduling problem, scheduling problems in complex manufacturing systems and supply chains, and workflow scheduling problems are given. The chapters address such subjects as insertion heuristics for energy-efficient scheduling, the re-scheduling of train traffic in real time, control algorithms for short-term scheduling in manufacturing systems, bi-objective optimization of tortilla production, scheduling problems with uncertain (interval) processing times, workflow scheduling for digital signal processor (DSP) clusters, and many more

Risk Management in the Supply Chain

Bevæggrunden for studiet er en undring over det tilsyneladende fravær på risikostyring ifm. reducering af lagre, afkortning af leveringstider, specialisering, etc. Der opstilles en hypotese om at graden (eller niveauet) af SCM må hænge sammen med niveauet for risikostyring, da et tættere integreret netværk vil resultere i en forholdsmæssigt større konsekvens af en forstyrrelse (Perrow, 1984)
