Abstract :

Research interests have been focused on the concept of penalizing jobs both for being early and for being tardy because not only of modern competitive industrial challenges of providing a variety of products at a very low cost by smoothing productions but also of its increasing and exciting computer applications. Here, sequencing approaches of the mixed- model just-in-time production systems is reviewed. In this note, realizing a need of critical review, a survey on the elegant mathematical models, methods and complexity of the mixed- model just-in-time sequencing problem with an insight into the existing analytical literature is given. The established research results together with open problems and possible extensions are presented.
