An open-station assembly line that manufactures mixed models of sheet metal cabinets is considered in this research. The problem minimizes the total cost of the idle and utility times incurred in an ...

Integer programming is a crucial branch of mathematical optimisation that focuses on problems where some or all decision variables are constrained to be integers. This field underpins many practical ...

Integer programming, a cornerstone of combinatorial optimisation, focuses on the selection of discrete decision variables to solve complex real‐world problems such as scheduling, network design and ...
