Abstract

A permutational flowshop group scheduling problem (GSP) with sequence dependent set-up times, finite interoperational buffer capacity and workers with different skills has been investigated in this paper. The set-up times are influenced by the sequence of groups and the worker skill level; the manufacturing tasks on a part are completely automated and the working times do not depend on the operator’s skill. The minimization of the completion time is the objective of the group scheduling. A Genetic Algorithm is proposed as an efficient tool to solve the investigated problem; a benchmark of problems has been generated to investigate the influence of the inter-operational buffer capacity and the worker skill level on the completion time.
