Title
A flexible job shop scheduling approach with operators for coal export terminals.
Abstract
•A new approach for scheduling and resourcing activities of coal export terminals is proposed.•The CET is modelled as a flexible job shop with operators and solved via advanced meta-heuristics.•A key ingredient of the optimisation process is the application of a priority ordering chromosome.•Real life test problems are solved and numerical investigations demonstrate an effective approach.
