Title of the invited lecture: Just-in-time scheduling (The EURO plenary)
Abstract: Although scheduling is already a mature field of operational research it continues to inspire researchers with variety of practical applications, new models and solution approaches. One of the examples is just-in-time scheduling that has many practical applications in manufacturing as well as in computing systems. The goal of this talk is to present two approaches to just-in-time scheduling. The first one follows from the traditional Toyota system and the second one is an extension of a classical formulation of a scheduling problem. Each of them relates to slightly different production conditions. Both lead to interesting theoretical results.
