3-Stage Specially Structured Flow Shop Scheduling to Minimize the Rental Cost Set Up Time Separated from Processing Time Including Transportation Time

Heuristic Approach for Specially Structured Two Stage Flow Shop Scheduling to Minimize the Rental Cost, Processing Time, Set Up Time Are Associated with Their Probabilities Including Transportation Time and Job Weightage

The present paper is an attempt to develop a new heuristic algorithm, find the optimal sequence to minimize the utilization time of the machines and hence their rental cost for two stage specially structured flow shop scheduling under specified rental policy in which processing times and set up time are associated with their respective probabilities including transportation time. Further jo...

Optimal Two Stages Specially Structured Flow Shop Scheduling: Minimize the Rental Cost with Independent Setup Time

One of the earliest results in flow shop scheduling theory is an algorithm given by Johnson’s [1] for scheduling jobs on two or three machines to minimize the total elapsed time whenever the processing times of jobs are random. The present paper is an attempt to develop a heuristic algorithm for two stages specially structured flow shop scheduling in which the processing times of the jobs a...

On Specially Structured Two Stage Flow Shop Scheduling Problem with Setup Time Separated from Processing Time and Jobs in a String of Disjoint Job Blocks

This paper relates to two stage specially structured flow shop scheduling problem with jobs in a string of disjoint job blocks having sequence independent setup times separated from processing times each associated with their respective probabilities, where the optimization criteria is the utilization time of machines. To minimize the utilization time an algorithm is proposed and a numerical ex...
