Abstract
<span>Given the interest and complexity, of the hybrid flow shops (HFS) problem in industry, he has been extensively considered, the HFS, is a complex combinatorial problem supported in many original world applications. We consider a hybrid flow shop FH4(P3, P2)||C<sub>max</sub> to applied in this paper. In this papers we attempt to optimize the makespan which refers to the last task completion time by an adequate meta-heuristic algorithm based on electromagnetism mechanism (EM). We also present analysis on the performance of the EM-algorithm adapted to HFS scheduling problems. The electromagnetism-like mechanism method gave us efficient and fair results comparing to particle swarm and genetic algorithm.</span>
