Abstract

We consider the two machine total completion time flow shop scheduling problem. This problem is known to be NP-Hard in the strong sense. An improved Lagrangean relaxation approach is proposed. Two new dominance criteria are introduced to curtail the enumeration tree. A branch-and-bound algorithm capable of solving to optimality medium size problem instances is presented.
