Abstract

This paper addresses the two-machine flowshop problem where the setup, processing, and removal times of the jobs are separated and are independent of the job sequence. This problem is considered with maximum lateness as a measure of performance. Elimination criteria are established for both the classical and ordered flowshops, and optimal sequences are obtained for special ordered flowshops.
