It further selected four out of these decisions and carried out a comprehensive and concise review of the existing models and approaches on them, thereby exposing the strengths and weakness of these models in solving the problems of jobshops. The study concluded by given possible direction for future research so that current barriers in jobshops could be holistically addressed.
