The multi-product variable lot streaming (MPVLS) in a flow shop is to determine product sequence, to determine the machines to reallocate lot streaming for each product in the sequence, and to determine lot streaming for each machine, in order to minimize makespan for producing all products. In this paper, MPVLS is decomposed into three sub-problems: product sequence determination, lot streamin...
