Abstract

Hybrid flow shop (HFS) systems represent the typical flow shop production system with parallel machines on at least one stage of operation. This paper considers unrelated machines and anticipatory sequence-dependent setup times where job families can be formed based on similar setup characteristics. This results in the opportunity to save setups if two jobs of the same family are scheduled consecutively. Three constructive heuristic approaches, aiming at minimization of makespan, total completion time and the total number of setup procedures, are implemented based on the algorithm of Nawaz, Enscore and Ham (NEH).
