Often, companies deliberately fulfill demands with delay since they can benefit from reducing transportation and setup costs.
The transportation times and setup times of jobs are included in the processing times.

Inventory is carried over or backlogged in a trade-off with costs for production setup and transportation.
This paper proposes an ant colony optimisation-based software system for solving FMS scheduling in a job-shop environment with routing flexibility, sequence-dependent setup and transportation time.
The setup cuts transportation costs, court delays, escape opportunities and the tensions and fights that sometimes erupt when too many inmates are penned up in buses or courthouse cells, the officials said, expressing hopes of expanding the video arrangement to courtrooms throughout the city and state.
Setup and transportation is simplified, making it ideal for sports, documentary and filmmaking projects.
This research shows, for a specific setup in the transportation field, that a proper choice of prior information, adequately incorporating the dominance of preferred attribute levels, eliminates choice sets with a dominant alternative from Bayesian D-efficient designs.
The funding pays for things like delegate transportation, staff expenses, insurance and setup of the convention hall itself.
The main contribution of this study is to minimize the sustainable supply chain cost of the system by jointly considering the multi-level delay-in-payment, variable carbon emission cost, and variable transportation cost under the single-setup-multi-delivery policy.
