A DEVELOPMENT ON OPTIMAL SOLUTIONS FOR THE SINGLE BATCH, FLOW SHOP, LOT-STREAMING PROBLEM WITH EQUAL SUBLOTS

摘要

In their research, Kalir and Sarin (2001) present the solutions for the single batch, flow shop, lot streaming problem with equal sublots. However, their models have been found to be not general and practicable under some situations. In this paper, the revised model considering the impact of transfer on makespan and a new model to illustrate the impact of setup on makespan are developed.
