Preface
Preface to the First Edition This book is an outgrowth of an earlier text that was released in 1999 under the title “Operations Scheduling with Applications in Manufacturing and Services”, coauthored with Xiuli Chao from North Carolina State. This new version has been completely reorganized and expanded in several directions including new application areas and solution methods. The application areas are divided into two parts: manufacturing applications and services applications. The book covers five areas in manufacturing, namely, project scheduling, job shop scheduling, scheduling of flexible assembly systems, economic lot scheduling, and planning and scheduling in supply chains. It covers four areas in services, namely, reservations and timetabling, tournament scheduling, planning and scheduling in transportation, and workforce scheduling. Of course, this selection does not represent all the applications of planning and scheduling in manufacturing and services. Some areas that have received a fair amount of attention in the literature, e.g., scheduling of robotic cells, have not been included. Scheduling problems in telecommunication and computer science have not been covered either. It seems harder to write a good applications-oriented book than a good theory-oriented book. In the writing of this book one question came up regularly: what should be included and what not? Some difficult decisions had to be made with regard to some of the material covered. For example, should this book discuss Johnson’s rule, which minimizes the makespan in a two
