A three-machine permutation flow-shop problem with minimum makespan on the second machine
In this paper, we consider a three-machine permutation flow-shop scheduling problem where the criterion is to minimize the total completion time without idle times subject to the minimum makespan on the second machine. This problem is NP-hard while each of the objective functions alone can be optimi...

| Shrnutí: | In this paper, we consider a three-machine permutation flow-shop scheduling problem where the criterion is to minimize the total completion time without idle times subject to the minimum makespan on the second machine. This problem is NP-hard while each of the objective functions alone can be optimized in polynomial time. We develop a branch-and-bound algorithm with effective branching rules and dominance properties which help to reduce the search space. By our computational experiments, the branch-and-bound algorithm is comparable to a recent mixed integer programming solver and, for some kinds of problem instances, the branch-and-bound algorithm outperforms the solver. On the other hand, the computational result would indicate that the hierarchical scheduling problems are essentially hard in both theoretical and computational points of view. |
