Abstract In many practical cases of flowshop environments and especially in flowline manufacturing cells, some or all jobs may not require processing on all machines. Hence, this paper focuses on the flowshop scheduling problem with missing operations. A modification of the constructive NPS-set heuristic is proposed, which generates non-permutation schedules effectively. Furthermore, a two-phase simulated annealing (SA) method is presented that specifically considers missing operations in its procedure. The modified NPS-set heuristic and the two-phase SA are tested and statistically evaluated by an extensive computational study for total flow time criteria. The results show that the modified NPS-set heuristic as well as the specific consideration of missing operations can enhance the algorithms' performance significantly.
