Flow shop scheduling problems have been analyzed worldwide due to their various applications in industry. In this article, a new genetic algorithm (NGA) is developed to obtain the optimum schedule for the minimization of total completion time of n-jobs in an m-machine flow shop operating without buffers. The working process of the present algorithm is very efficient to implement and effective to find the best results. To implement the proposed algorithm more effectively, similar job order crossover operators and inversion mutation operators have been used. Numerous examples are illustrated to explain proposed approach. Finally, the computational results indicate that present NGA performs much superior to the heuristics for blocking flow shop developed in the literature.

The flow shop scheduling problems with fuzzy processing times are investigated in this paper. For some special kinds of fuzzy numbers, the analytic formulas of the fuzzy compltion time can be obtained. For the general bell-shaped fuzzy numbers, we present a computational procedure to obtain the approximated membership function of the fuzzy completion time. We define a defuzzification function to rank the fuzzy numbers. Under this ranking concept among fuzzy numbers, we plan to minimize the fuzzy makespan and total weighted fuzzy completion time. Because the ant colony algorithm has been successfully used to solve the scheduling problems with real-valued processing times, we shall also apply the ant colony algorithm to search for the best schedules when the processing times are assumed as fuzzy numbers. Numerical examples are also provided and solved by using the commercial software MATLAB.
