    Abstract : Volvo Aero has invested in a complex production cell containing a set of multipurpose machines. The problem of finding optimal schedules for this multitask cell is a complex combinatorial optimization problem which is recognized as a flexible job shop problem. This thesis proposes an approach to find such schedules using mathematical optimization. READ MORE
