Abstract

In this study, no wait ow shop problem, which is a variant of permutation ow shop, is investigated. In a no wait ow shop, after processing of a job is started, it must be processed completely without any delay or cut-o. This scheduling model is generally used where operations are compulsory to follow one right way after the other due. No wait flow shop problem with the objective of minimizing makespan is NP-hard, therefore researchers mostly study heuristic approaches, which give near-optimal solutions, because of their ease of implementation. The proposed solution generates an exact solution for the n jobs and m machines no wait fow shop systems with the objective of minimizing makespan in competitive times. It uses column generation and lazy
constraints techniques.
