The paper applies permutations of six dispatching rules to a two-machine dynamic flow shop operating as a Poisson process. The size of the second queue is later limited to study the effect of limited buffer space. The performance measures examined are mean and maximum flow times, mean tardiness, and the mean absolute lateness. The best permutations for each case are determined statistically.
