Abstract:

This paper presents the derivation and evaluation of two new MILP models for the SDST flowshop sequencing problem. The first model, TS1, was derived directly from the assignment-problem-based MILP model for the regular flow-shop that Stafford modified from the original Wagner three-machine all-integer model. The second model, TS2, combined the properties of model TS1 with the looser constraints approach of Srikar and Ghosh, as modified by Stafford and Tseng (model SG*). Three experiments were used to compare both new models to the SG* model. Both new models were found to use significantly less computation time than the SG* model, especially for problem sizes of 6 or more jobs and 5 or more machines. The TS1 model used significantly less computation time than the TS2 model, making it the current best MILP model in the SDST flowshop literature.
