The concept of learning process plays a key role in production environments. However, it is relatively unexplored in the flowshop setting. In this short note, we consider a permutation flowshop scheduling problem with a learning effect where the objective is to minimize the sum of completion...

In this paper, we investigate a single-machine problem with the learning effect and release times where the objective is to minimize the makespan. A branch-and-bound algorithm incorporating with several dominance properties and lower bounds is developed to derive the optimal solution. A...

Scheduling with deteriorating jobs has received increasing attention in recent years. Moreover, the machines are assumed to have unlimited intermediate buffers. In this paper, we study the two-machine deteriorating jobs flowshop problem with blocking where the objective is to minimize the...
