Abstract

top
We address the 3-Machine Assembly-Type Flowshop Scheduling Problem (3MAF). This problem is known to be NP-complete in the strong sense. We propose an exact branch and bound method based on a recursive enumeration of potential inputs and outputs of the machines. Using this algorithm, several large size instances have been solved to optimality.
