SOLVING PROCESS PLANNING AND SCHEDULING PROBLEMS USING THE CONCEPT OF MAXIMUM WEIGHTED INDEPENDENT SET
<p>Process planning and scheduling (PPS) is an essential and practical topic but a very intractable problem in manufacturing systems. Many research studies use iterative methods to solve such problems; however, they cannot achieve satisfactory results in both quality and computational speed. Other …
