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

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
The scheduling problem with deteriorating jobs to minimize the makespan on a single machine where the facility has an availability constraint is studied in this paper. By a deteriorating job we mean that the processing time for the job is a function of its starting time. Even with the introduction o
