This paper considers the two-stage flexible flowshop scheduling problem with availability constraints. We discuss the complexity and the approximability of the problem, and provide some approximation algorithms with finite and tight worst case performance bounds for some special cases of the problem

This paper considers an m-machine permutation flowshop scheduling problem of minimizing the makespan. This classical scheduling problem is still important in modem manufacturing systems, and is well known to be intractable (i.e., NP-hard). In fact branch-and-bound algorithms developed so far for thi
In this study, the two-machine bicriteria flowshop scheduling problem is addressed. The objective is to minimize a weighted sum of total flowtime and makespan. Different branch-and-bound algorithms have already appeared in the literature for this problem. In this study, a more efficient branch-and-b
## a b s t r a c t We consider a parallel-machine scheduling problem with a learning effect and the makespan objective. The impact of the learning effect on job processing times is modelled by the general DeJong's learning curve. For this NP-hard problem we propose two exact algorithms: a sequenti
