In this paper we study the two-machine no-wait flowshop problem with an availability constraint. The problem has been shown to be NP-hard, and some heuristics with a worst-case error bound of 2 have been developed for it. We provide two improved heuristics for the problem, and show that each has a w

We consider the flowshop problem with unit-time operations and intree precedence constraints, with the objective to minimize the total completion time. We present a polynomial-time algorithm assuming that the number of machines is fixed. This proves a recently stated conjecture.
## Abstract The ordered matrix flow shop problem with no passing of jobs is considered. In an earlier paper, the authors have considered a special case of the problem and have proposed a simple and efficient algorithm that finds a sequence with minimum makespan for a special problem. This paper con
This paper deals with the problem of makespan minimization in a flow shop with two machines when the input buffer of the second machine can only host a limited number of parts. Here we analyze the problem in the context of batch processing, i.e., when identical parts must be processed consecutively.
