A mathematical model and simulated annealing algorithm for solving the cyclic scheduling problem of a flexible robotic cell

Flexible robotic cells are used to produce standardized items at a high production speed. In this study, the scheduling problem of a flexible robotic cell is considered. Machines are identical and parallel. In the cell, there is an input and an output buffer, wherein the unprocessed and the finished...
