About
Olfa Belkahla Driss is a leading researcher in production scheduling and intelligent manufacturing systems, with a focus on the integration of machine scheduling and transport robot coordination. Her work addresses critical challenges in flexible and distributed job shop environments, where the simultaneous optimization of machine operations and material handling is essential for efficiency. Driss is best known for developing hybrid metaheuristics and clustered holonic multiagent models that enable the coordinated scheduling of machines and transport robots, as demonstrated in her most-cited paper (129 citations). She has advanced the field by introducing transportation time constraints into distributed flexible job shop problems, creating new problem variants such as the DFJSPT. Her recent work (2025) continues to model and solve these complex scheduling problems, pushing the boundaries of real-world applicability. With over 190 citations across her key publications, Driss’s contributions are vital for researchers and practitioners aiming to improve productivity in automated manufacturing and robotic cells.
