Abstract

This paper presents an approach for finding an optimal schedule of n-jobs and m-machines flowshop scheduling problem involving transportation time between jobs by using neural networks. An algorithm has been given for finding the optimal sequence in scheduling problem without transportation time [2]. Here, this algorithm is applied when transportation times are involved between machines to find the optimal sequence.
