The problem of scheduling in a flowshop is considered with the objective of minimizing the total weighted flowtime of jobs. A heuristic algorithm is developed by the introduction of lower bounds on the completion times of jobs and the development of heuristic preference relations for the scheduling
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
