Abstract
As the proportion of older workers increases, considering their unique characteristics and needs in operations management has become critical, especially in manufacturing environments. Traditional production scheduling models usually assume a homogeneous workforce and neglect the diverse physical and cognitive abilities of older workers. This paper presents a systematic literature review to evaluate the state of research on age-inclusive production scheduling models. The results indicate that besides job rotation scheduling problems, production scheduling that considers the sequence of jobs at machines or workstations in connection with the age-inclusive assignment of workers has received little attention. To close this gap, we propose a dual resource-constraint job shop scheduling approach incorporating workers' experience and age based on the results of the literature review and discuss future research opportunities.
