Heuristics for Minimizing Tool Switches when Scheduling Part Types on a Flexible Machine
, , , and BibTeX reference
This article considers a tool loading problem whose objective is to minimize the number of tool switches over time in order to process several parts on a flexible machine. New heuristics are presented and compared. Some of these are shown to be superior to existing methods.
