Abstract
In automated plating processes, hoists ensure the transfer of products between workstations. Scheduling their movements is known as the Hoist Scheduling Problem (HSP). It belongs to the class of strongly NP-hard problems (Lei and Wang, 1989b). Many studies, dealing with different complexity levels of the problem have been published, and the following classification should give the reader quite a large overview of them.
