Comparative analysis of group scheduling heuristics in a flow shop cellular system

Leu, Bor‐Yuh; Nazemetz, John W. - In: International Journal of Operations & Production Management 15 (1995) 9, pp. 143-157

Investigates group scheduling heuristics in a flow shop cellular system with two types of order shipment environment: permitted early shipment (PES) and forbidden early shipment (FES). Once an order is completed in the PES environment, it leaves the system without delay. In the FES environment,...
