A no-wait robotic cell is an automated flowshop in which a robot is used to move the parts from a machine to the next. Parts are not allowed to wait. We analyze the complexity of the part sequencing problem in a robotic cell with three machines, for different periodical patterns of robot moves, when the objective is productivity maximization.
