A spatial scheduling application at the block paint shop in shipbuilding: the HYPOS project

A spatial scheduling pursues the optimal dynamic spatial layout schedule that also satisfies traditional scheduling constraints. In a shipyard, spatial scheduling problems occur in various working areas, such as block assembly shops, grand block assembly shops, dry docks, and block paint shops. In the literature, a few studies applied the spatial scheduling on the shipbuilding process, but only on the block assembly shop.
