title = "Expanding RTN discrete-time scheduling formulations to preemptive tasks",
abstract = "This paper expands the Resource-Task Network (RTN) scheduling formulation to allow tasks to be interrupted when encountering a planned break period in production. The benefit from a more flexible mode of operation, is the improvement of overall equipment efficiency. This is illustrated by solving a benchmark problem from the literature. To address one of the major limitations of discrete-time approaches, we revisit solution strategies for the objective of makespan minimization, before proposing a method to reduce the number of iterations in the search for the optimal solution.",
