Heuristic algorithms for a delivery workload balancing problem in an assembly plant

In this paper, a delivery workload balancing problem in an assembly plant is considered. The problem is first described as a special case of the unrelated parallel machine scheduling problem of minimizing the makespan. Then, a polynomial time heuristic algorithm is proposed, which is regarded as a d...
