| The present paper is an attempt to develop a new heuristic algorithm, find the optimal
sequence to minimize the utilization time of the machines and hence their rental cost for two stage
specially structured flow shop scheduling under specified rental policy in which processing times and
set up time are associated with their respective probabilities including transportation time. Further
jobs are attached with weights to indicate their relative importance. The proposed method is very
simple and easy to understand and also provide an important tool for the decision maker. Algorithm is
justified by numerical illustration.
Keywords: Specially Structured Flow Shop Scheduling, Rental Policy, Processing Time, Weight Age
of Jobs, Set Up, Transportation Time. |
