Abstract

This article considers flow shop scheduling problems with a learning effect. By the learning effect, we mean that the processing time of a job is defined by a function of its position in a processing permutation. The objective is to minimize the total weighted completion time. Some heuristic algorithms by using the optimal permutations for the corresponding single machine scheduling problems are presented, and the worst-case bound of these heuristics are also analyzed.
