In this paper, we address the two-stage assembly scheduling problem to minimize maximum lateness where setup times are treated as separate and sequence-independent. This problem has many applications including computer assembly problem. We propose a dominance relation and present three heuristics. Computational experiments are conducted to compare the proposed heuristics which show that Particle Swarm Optimization heuristic outperform the Tabu search and EDD heuristics. © 2006 IEEE.
