This paper investigates an integrated production and distribution scheduling problem in a hybrid flow shop with a batch delivery system. The goal is to schedule jobs and assign them to batches to minimize the total weighted number of tardy jobs and delivery costs, thereby improving both operational efficiency and customer satisfaction. To achieve this, a novel mixed-integer linear programming model is developed. Given its computational complexity for large instances, two metaheuristic algorithms, simulated annealing (SA) and a genetic algorithm (GA), are proposed and calibrated using the Taguchi method to enhance performance. Experimental results demonstrate that simulated annealing consistently outperforms the genetic algorithm in both solution quality and computational time. The results also demonstrate that the proposed approach reduces the overall cost of production and distribution by 10.45%.

In order to manage a project seamlessly, there is a need to establish effective communication be-tween different departments and identify the risks in the project, determine the affected or influ-encing stakeholders, provide timely resources and logistics, and manage the available resources to make a framework for project implementation. In order to successfully complete the project it is also necessary to focus on approved costs, project completion time and quality within the specified range. Project management is the coordination among different parts of the project to achieve the main goals of the project and the stakeholders’ expectations. To achieve this, there are several standards and one of the most recognized standards is the Project Management Knowledge Facility (PMBOK), which has come with the assistance of Project Managers for professional, targeted and comprehensive management. PMBOK is not just a guideline and a methodology for project management. Building Information Modeling (BIM), a project man-agement methodology has been adopted in recent years to design a project integrated as a 3-D information model, which adds all project information in the various phases of the project to a 3-D information model. The purpose of this research is to gather some date from experts using some questionnaires in the area of project management to build an information modeling. The study determines that each of the basic BIM capabilities had positive effects on different domains of PMBOK knowledge. Moreover, using SAW analysis, the study suggests that BIM had the greatest impact on project integration management, and finally, the BIM general process model is introduced to implement each of the areas of knowledge.
