Description: In this article, we propose an integrated formulation of the combined production and material handling scheduling problems. Traditionally, scheduling problems consider the production machines as the only constraining resource. This is however no longer true as material handling vehicles are becoming more and more valuable resources requiring important investments. Their operations should be optimized and above all synchronized with machine operations. In the problem addressed in this paper, a job shop context is considered. Machines and vehicles are both considered as constraining resources. The integrated scheduling problem is formulated as a mathematical programming model and as a constraint programming model which are compared for optimally solving a series of test problems. A commercial software (ILOG OPLStudio) was used for modeling and testing both models.
