Abstract
Scheduling with setup times or setup costs plays a crucial role in todays modern manufacturing and service environments where reliable products/services are to be delivered on time. Scheduling activities profoundly depend on the times/costs required to prepare the facility for performing the activities. However, the vast majority of existing scheduling literature ignores this fact. We define and emphasize the importance, applications, and benefits of explicitly considering setup times/costs in scheduling research. Moreover, a review of the latest research on scheduling problems with setup times/costs is provided.
