摘要
Three heuristic algorithms for flowshop scheduling with the objective of minimizing total flowtime are presented in this paper. Since the flowshop scheduling problem has been found to be an NP-complete problem, the development of heuristic algorithms that guarantee fairly accurate solutions becomes necessary. The proposed algorithms are found to give consistently near-optimal solutions and fare better than the existing methods.
