a review on sequencing approaches for mixed-model just-in-time production system

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 mixedmodel 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 mixedmodel 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.
