Abstract

Basic Flow shop scheduling is converted to three stage flow shop scheduling, this paper describes waiting time of jobs on Specially Structured machines aimed at minimizing total waiting time of ‘n’ jobs when the number of machines (or processing stations) is ‘3’. The problem discussed has wider applicability and has better practical usage when it comes to reducing the overall waiting time of scheduled jobs. The objective of the observation is to bring forth the arrangement/sequence of jobs associated with the least amount of total waiting time using iterative algorithm. The application of the algorithm is universal under given constraints discussed here. Furthermore, a practical example is discussed step by step to clarify the application of the algorithm.
