N2 - Over the last three decades, several research efforts have been made in order to incorporate different features that appear in scheduling problems. To this end, many Mixed-Integer Programming (MIP) models have been proposed to account for storage, utilities, limited resources, changeovers, maintenance, rescheduling, among other features, in addition to the basic assignment, sizing and timing of products in processing units. However, the main drawback of most of these models is that they can only handle small- to mid-scale instances. The challenge of solving large-scale industrial instances using MIP models has remained for the most part intractable.
