Improving branch-and-price for parallel machine scheduling

In this paper we present a hybrid exact-heuristic method to improve a branch-and-price algorithm to solve the unrelated parallel machines with sequence-dependent setup times scheduling problem. As most of the computational time in the column generation (CG) process is spent in subproblems, two new h...
