Abstract
This chapter focuses on job shops. There are n jobs and each job visits a number of machines following a predetermined route. In some models a job may visit any given machine at most once and in other models a job may visit each machine more than once. In the latter case it is said that the job shop is subject to recirculation. A generalization of the basic job shop is a so-called flexible job shop. A flexible job shop consists of a collection of workcenters and each workcenter consists of a number of identical machines in parallel. Each job follows a predetermined route visiting a number of workcenters; when a job visits a workcenter, it may be processed on any one of the machines at that workcenter.
