Problem definition: Intraproject learning in project scheduling is concerned with the use of learning among the similar tasks in the project to improve the overall performance of the project schedule. Under intraproject learning, knowledge gained from completing some tasks in a project is used...

We establish the computational complexity of the problem of minimizing makespan in a flowshop, where each jobs requires a pallet the entire time, from the start of its first operation until the completion of the last operation. We prove that the problem is NP-hard in the strong sense for m =2...
