- Abstract
- This paper considers the transfer batch scheduling problem for a two-stage flowshop with identical
parallel machines at each stage. Two cases of separable and inseparable setup times and processing
times are examined. A scheduling rule similar to Johnson's rule is suggested to minimize makespan.
The scheduling method developed in this paper subsumes many existing methods for two-stage
flowshop makespan minimization. A numerical example is presented to illustrate the scheduling
method.
