About

Mohand Said Larabi is a researcher whose work lies at the intersection of operations research, production scheduling, and robotics. His primary focus is on the optimization of complex manufacturing systems, particularly the job-shop scheduling problem extended to include material transport constraints. Larabi’s major contribution is the development of a disjunctive graph model for the job-shop problem with multiple robots, a novel approach that captures the intricate interdependencies between machine processing and robotic transport tasks. This work, published in 2007, has garnered 18 citations, establishing a foundation for subsequent studies in integrated scheduling and transport logistics. His doctoral thesis further advanced this field by modeling and optimizing job-shop systems where robots with unary loading capacity—capable of carrying only one job at a time—handle inter-machine transport. This research addresses critical real-world challenges in automated manufacturing, where efficient coordination between production and material handling is essential. Larabi’s contributions provide valuable tools for designing more efficient and realistic production systems, making his work a key reference for researchers and engineers in industrial engineering and robotics.
