Abstract

In this chapter we organize the literature on the hybrid flow shop scheduling problem that has appeared since the late 1950’s. We see a number of interesting and diverse industrial applications of this system, and find that the majority of research focuses on the makespan objective. Our coverage of results is exhaustive and categorized along concepts such as complexity, error-bound analyses, computational experiments and choice of objective. Several new results are included that have not appeared in the literature before. Surprisingly, existing research does not focus on the deterministic version of the problem alone, but also on the case of stochastic processing times.
