摘要
This paper reports on computational experiments involving optimal solutions to the flowshop tardiness problem. Of primary interest was a generic approach: solutions were obtained using a spreadsheet-based, mixed-integer programming code. However, the results compare favorably with those from a specially-tailored branch and bound algorithm. The main implication is that hardware and software have developed to the point that generic tools may offer the best way to solve combinatorial problems in scheduling. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd.
