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

## Abstract In this paper we study the scheduling problem that considers both production and job delivery at the same time with machine availability considerations. Only one vehicle is available to deliver jobs in a fixed transportation time to a distribution center. The vehicle can load at most __
In this paper, we are interested in job-shop scheduling problems with several unrelated parallel machines and precedence constraints between the operations of the jobs (with either linear or non-linear process routings). The objective is to minimize the maximum completion time (Cmax). We propose an
