[{"status":"public","department":[{"_id":"DEP7027"}],"year":"2026","user_id":"83781","page":"541-560","abstract":[{"lang":"eng","text":"In manufacturing systems with a job shop organization, queues between workstations create an intermittent process flow, allowing workers to schedule tasks entering the queue based on their needs and preferences. The resulting scheduling autonomy of individual workers often leads to inefficiencies in the overall production process due to the loss of control. Companies are therefore increasingly using algorithmic scheduling systems to assign task sequences to workers, thereby drastically reducing their autonomy and negatively affecting their job performance and well-being. This paper extends the existing flexible job shop scheduling problem by sequencing preferences (FJSPSP) to incorporate a human-centered perspective by predicting workers’ task sequencing decisions using learning-to-rank (LTR) methods. By learning workers’ individual task sequencing preferences, it becomes possible to predict the processing sequence based on task characteristics. The scheduling algorithm for the FJSPSP presented in the paper incorporates workers’ learned sequencing preferences as constraints. Considering workers’ learned task sequencing decisions, the FJSPSP optimizes only task assignments to maintain workers’ autonomy over task sequences. The contributions of this paper are fourfold, namely, (1) presenting an approach to elicit sequencing decision datasets from workers, (2) demonstrating the successful prediction of humans’ and an actual worker’s task sequencing decisions with LTR, (3) formulating the FJSPSP variant that integrates workers’ sequencing preferences as constraints and proving its effectiveness in a simulation study, and (4) consolidating these steps into an explainable artificial intelligence (XAI)- and LTR-enabled sociotechnical system design framework. The paper closes with a discussion of the overall methodology and future research perspectives."}],"keyword":["Human-centered scheduling","Job autonomy","Learning-to-rank","Flexible job shop scheduling","Human decision-making","Explainable artificial intelligence"],"publisher":"Elsevier BV","type":"scientific_journal_article","quality_controlled":"1","date_updated":"2026-01-12T08:54:27Z","doi":"10.1016/j.jmsy.2025.12.020","article_type":"original","issue":"2","publication":"Journal of Manufacturing Systems","_id":"13337","language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"date_created":"2026-01-12T08:29:09Z","publication_status":"published","volume":84,"place":"Amsterdam","citation":{"bjps":"<b>Herrmann J-P <i>et al.</i></b> (2026) Incorporating Scheduling Autonomy of Workers into Flexible Job Shop Scheduling: Learning and Balancing Decentralized Task Sequencing Decisions with Overall Scheduling Performance. <i>Journal of Manufacturing Systems</i> <b>84</b>, 541–560.","din1505-2-1":"<span style=\"font-variant:small-caps;\">Herrmann, Jan-Phillip</span> ; <span style=\"font-variant:small-caps;\">Tackenberg, Sven</span> ; <span style=\"font-variant:small-caps;\">Srirajan, Tharsika Pakeerathan</span> ; <span style=\"font-variant:small-caps;\">Nitsch, Verena</span>: Incorporating scheduling autonomy of workers into flexible job shop scheduling: Learning and balancing decentralized task sequencing decisions with overall scheduling performance.

Predicting their decision-making helps plan production more accurately while preserving workers’ autonomy. The factors that influence workers’ decision-making depend on the manufacturing process and person considered, and they must be newly collected for each use case. This paper identifies the factors influencing workers when deciding in which sequence to process manufacturing tasks in a medium-sized hydraulic cylinder manufacturer. Five workers and two lead workers were observed and interviewed during several work shifts about influencing factors. The authors propose a new interview technique called indifference testing to overcome subjects’ difficulty articulating their decision-making process. Collected factors were categorized using inductive category formation and context analysis. The analyses identified 75 influencing factors comprising 37 decision attributes and 38 decision rules. The identified decision attributes indicate that worker preferences are influenced by attributes from the classical scheduling literature and attributes related to worker well-being, circadian rhythms, and ergonomics. The identified decision rules are useful constituents of more complex preference functions. The decision attributes and rules enable the construction of machine learning models to predict workers’ task sequencing decisions in job shops. Potential applications include systematically eliminating or controlling influencing factors through workplace design measures to increase worker well-being and optimality of their decisions."}],"keyword":["Task Sequencing","Manufacturing","Learning To Rank","Scheduling Human Factors","Case Study"],"status":"public","department":[{"_id":"DEP7020"}],"user_id":"83781","year":"2025","quality_controlled":"1","date_updated":"2026-02-10T10:54:05Z","doi":"10.1016/j.procs.2025.01.244","publisher":"Elsevier BV","type":"scientific_journal_article","_id":"13349","publication":"Procedia Computer Science","title":"Influencing factors on worker task sequencing decisions in a medium-sized hydraulic cylinder manufacturer","language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"date_created":"2026-01-29T10:15:17Z","volume":253,"publication_status":"published","place":"Amsterdam","citation":{"van":"Herrmann JP, Tackenberg S, Burgert F, Nitsch V.

Moreover, work processes in sheltered workshops are weakly structured, allowing for frequent task interruptions and changes based on the preferences of impaired work persons. While the Industry 4.0 literature provides many real-time scheduling algorithms for incorporating multiple objectives and constraints, these algorithms fall short of the characteristics of sheltered workshops. The resource-constrained project scheduling problem (RCPSP) is an optimization problem for computing manufacturing plans considering multiple objectives and resource constraints. Among many different RCPSP variants proposed in the literature, the multi-skill RCPSP (MSRCPSP) variant considers the individual skills of work persons when generating manufacturing plans. With the ongoing digital transformation of enterprises, new assistance systems enter the market, providing individual support to impaired work persons and compensating for lacking skills and abilities. This paper proposes an MSRCPSP variant that incorporates assistance systems and learning tasks compensating for competence gaps in the skill matrix of impaired work persons. Furthermore, it decomposes tasks into individual work objects, which accounts for frequent task interruptions and task preferences of work persons. The algorithm is described and demonstrated using a manufacturing data set from an actual sheltered workshop. In a small evaluation study, the algorithm is tested by scheduling two impaired work persons in the assembly department of a medium-sized manufacturing company in the primary labor market. The evaluation study proves its real-world applicability and the suitability of scheduling algorithms for participation and inclusive work.

Moreover, work processes in sheltered workshops are weakly structured, allowing for frequent task interruptions and changes based on the preferences of impaired work persons. While the Industry 4.0 literature provides many real-time scheduling algorithms for incorporating multiple objectives and constraints, these algorithms fall short of the characteristics of sheltered workshops. The resource-constrained project scheduling problem (RCPSP) is an optimization problem for computing manufacturing plans considering multiple objectives and resource constraints. Among many different RCPSP variants proposed in the literature, the multi-skill RCPSP (MSRCPSP) variant considers the individual skills of work persons when generating manufacturing plans. With the ongoing digital transformation of enterprises, new assistance systems enter the market, providing individual support to impaired work persons and compensating for lacking skills and abilities.\r\nThis paper proposes an MSRCPSP variant that incorporates assistance systems and learning tasks compensating for competence gaps in the skill matrix of impaired work persons. Furthermore, it decomposes tasks into individual work objects, which accounts for frequent task interruptions and task preferences of work persons. The algorithm is described and demonstrated using a manufacturing data set from an actual sheltered workshop. In a small evaluation study, the algorithm is tested by scheduling two impaired work persons in the assembly department of a medium-sized manufacturing company in the primary labor market. The evaluation study proves its real-world applicability and the suitability of scheduling algorithms for participation and inclusive work.","lang":"eng"}],"page":"1329-1338","keyword":["Scheduling","Sheltered Workshops","Assistance System","Persons with Disabilities"],"publisher":"Elsevier BV","type":"scientific_journal_article","doi":"10.1016/j.procs.2024.01.131","date_updated":"2026-02-10T10:53:45Z"}]
