A Two-stage approach for an optimum solution of the car assembly scheduling problem. Part 2. CLP solution and real-world example

Abstract

A Constraint Logic Programming (CLP) tool for solving the problem discussed in Part 1 of the paper has been designed. It is outlined and discussed in the paper. The program has been used for solving a real-world car assembly scheduling problem.
