Abstract Most research studies on scheduling problems assume that a job visits certain machines only one time.
However, this assumption is invalid in some real-life situations. For example, a job may be processed
by the same machine more than once in semiconductor wafer manufacturing or in a printed circuit
board manufacturing machine. Such a setting is known as the “re-entrant flowshop”. On the other
hand, the importance of learning effect present in many practical situations such as machine shop, in
different branches of industry and for a variety of corporate activities, in shortening life cycles, and in
an increasing diversity of… More >
