Flowshop scheduling with identical jobs and uniform parallel machines
Article Abstract:
The 2-stage problem can be solved in polynomial-time and for the number of stages greater than two, the problem is known to be NP-hard. A branch and bound procedure that offers a solution to the 3-stage problem and a fast heuristic method to provide exact solution on sample problems are presented. The developed theoretical bounds indicated that the maximum deviation between the solution generated by the heuristic procedure and the optimal solution is bordered by the maximum processing time of a machine at the second stage, independent of the number of jobs and the processing times at the first and third stages.
