A note on scheduling of two-stage flow shop with multiple processors
Article Abstract:
A two-stage algorithm reduces the makespan of a two-stage flow shop with several unrelated parallel machines at each stage. Computational results resolved the problem in the two stages and developed makespan within 1.56 times of the computed lower bound. The algorithm also provides a solution to the problem of flow shop scheduling by reducing the makespan due to arbitrary release dates.
