This paper compares the performance of two operations scheduling methods in a job shop environment. The first method, termed the truncated job shop scheduling problem, represents a ’classical‚ approach to machine scheduling in a job shop environment. The second method, termed the complete job shop scheduling problem, explicitly considers material handling operations between processing steps. Evidence that the complete job shop solution performs better under certain circumstances is presented.
