This paper deals with the permutation flowshop scheduling problem with time lags constraints to minimize the total weighted tardiness criterion by using the Branch and Bound algorithm. A new lower bound was developed for the flowshop scheduling problem. The computational experiments indicate that the proposed algorithm provides good solution in terms of quality and time requirements.
