Abstract

Shop-based machine scheduling involves finding a sequence in which a set of work orders or jobs is processed on each of multiple machines. In this context, the order of production steps, also referred to as the process routing of each job has to be considered. In the job shop case, process routings are not required to be identical like in flow lines, hence they may be predefined individually for each job. In scientific literature, a production step is commonly referred to as an operation and the process routings are specified by so called precedence constraints.
