Abstract

In simple flow shop problems, each machine operation center includes just one machine. If at least one machine center includes more than one machine, the scheduling problem becomes a flexible flow-shop problem. In the previous paper, we have demonstrated how fuzzy concepts can easily be used in the Palmer algorithm for managing uncertain scheduling on flow-shop problems. This paper extends the application to fuzzy flexible flow-shops with more than two machine centers. A heuristic fuzzy flexible flow-shop scheduling algorithm is then designed since optimal solutions seem unnecessary for uncertain environments.
