Abstract

In this paper we study the two-machine no-wait flowshop problem with an availability constraint. The problem has been shown to be NP-hard, and some heuristics with a worst-case error bound of 2 have been developed for it. We provide two improved heuristics for the problem, and show that each has a worst-case error bound of 5 /3.
