Abstract:

The paper considers the two-machine flowshop scheduling problem with the objective of minimizing mean tardiness. Presented are several properties that are used to calculate lower bounds on total tardiness of jobs for a given partial sequence and to identify sequences domainated by others. The paper develops a branch and bound algorithm using these bounds and dominance rule. This algorithm is compared with an existing algorithm on randomly-generated test problems.
