“…Based on the proposed processing operation tree model, a series of rule-based integrated scheduling algorithms are proposed. And currently, it has solved the general integrated scheduling problem (Xie et al, 2017;Zhang, Xie, et al, 2019), the integrated scheduling problem with special processing constraints (Xie et al, 2013;Xie, Qi, & Yang, 2014), the distributed integrated scheduling problem (Xie et al, 2016(Xie et al, , 2018 and so on. For the problem of flexible integrated scheduling, which neglects the machine-independent delay constraints between operations, Xie, Shao, and Yang (2011) propose an algorithm for integrated flexible scheduling with device-independence deferred constraint.…”
