Abstract
Sequencing problems, which involve determining the optimal sequence of process steps, are critical in manufacturing, service, and distribution. These problems aim to achieve uniform resource utilization and minimize machine setup costs. Solutions can be approached using mathematical optimization methods for exact solutions or heuristic methods for good but possibly non-optimal solutions. In this work, sequencing problems are presented using examples such as the traveling salesman problem and the flow shop problem.
The following article is based in part on two essays which have been written by the students Hannah Bodemann, and Sarah Jungheim in the winter term 2019/2020 [15].
