Simplified methods for the minimization of open stacks problem

This paper presents two methods for solving the minimization of open stack problem (MOSP), a pattern sequencing problem found in production systems with direct industrial application. The first method refers to a heuristic based on graph theory and greedy criteria, while the second refers to the dynamic programming method. The results show the effectiveness of the proposed simplifications compared to the methods reported in the literature.
