Data
slailjNumber of setup-type operators l required to setup the tool j on machine i
scliljCost of type operator l to setup the tool j on machine i
slslNumber of available workers of type operator l available
Decision variables
Siljt1 if the tool j is setup by setup operator l on machine i during time period t; 0 otherwise
SAiljt1 if tool j is set up by setup operator l on machine i during time period t and is not set up on machine i during time period t − 1; 0 if tool j is set up by setup operator l on machine i during time period t − 1
