The complexity of flow-shop and job-shop scheduling - Garey, Johnson, et al. - 1976 () Citation Context ...ing are not allowed. The objective is to find a schedule that minimizes the maximum completion time or makespan. As a generalization of the job shop problem, the FJSP is known ...
An even more specialized flow shop is the proportionate flow shop in which each job has the same processing time on all machines; that is, pij=pj on all machines Mi, i=1,⋯,m; we denote proportionate flow shops using the term “prpt” in the middle field of the problem definition. ...
Automated guided vehicles have been widely used in flexible manufacturing systems especially in a job shop and flow shop. Recently, they are included in other fields such as container terminals. This paper demonstrates a literature review of the last three decades about the scheduling problems of th...
In this paper, we address a two-stage hybrid flowshop scheduling problem with identical parallel machines in each stage. The problem assumes that the queue (Q)-time for each job, which represents the waiting time to be processed in the current stage, must be limited to a predetermined thresh...
The existing algorithms for optimizing the flowshop scheduling problem with the objective of minimizing makespan assume that every stage has a single processor. This paper relaxes this assumption and presents a branch-and-bound algorithms for scheduling in the flowshop with parallel processors. The com...
Hall et al. (J. Sched. 2002; 5 :307–327) investigated the cycle time minimization problem in a two-machine job shop, where each job consists of at most three operations. In this note, we reduce the problem to a two-machine reentrant flow shop problem and briefly discuss some consequenc...
Flow shop scheduling problems with a learning effect on no-idle dominant machines are presented. There are given n jobs J1, J2, Jn to be processed on an machine permutation flow shop. The actual processing time of job Jj if scheduled in ... JB Wang - 《Applied Mathematics & Computation》...
This study investigates the buffer allocation strategy of a flow-shop-type production system that possesses a given total amount of buffers and finite buffer capacity for each workstation as well as general interarrival and service times in order to optimize such system performances as minimizing work...
Consider the two-machine no-wait flowshop problem where the setup and removal times of a job at each machine are separated from the processing time. The scheduling objective is to minimize the sum of the total flowtime. Two optimization properties are first developed. In view of the NP-hard...
This paper has considered the problem of scheduling parallel batching machines in a two-stage flow shop with job-dependent deteriorating effect and non-identical job sizes such that the makespan is minimized. To the best of our knowledge, this paper is the first in the literature to deal with...
