In this paper we address the stochastic cyclic scheduling problem in synchronous assembly and production lines. Synchronous lines are widely used in the production and assembly of various goods such as automobiles and household appliances. We consider the cycle time (or throughput rate) performance criterion as the objective of the scheduling problem with the assumption that the processing times are independent random variables.
