Aircraft Disassembly Scheduling: A Complex Optimization Problem

other · 2026-05-25

A new paper on arXiv presents the aircraft disassembly scheduling problem, a large-scale optimization challenge involving thousands of tasks with constraints such as technician certifications, precedence relations, aircraft balance, and limited workspace. The authors propose two solution approaches: a Constraint Programming model and a Mixed Integer Programming model. Efficient scheduling is crucial for profitability and sustainability in end-of-life aircraft dismantling.
