Minimising total tardiness for hybrid flowshop with batch-discrete processors, setup times, and distinct job sizes

This research addresses a complex hybrid flowshop (HFS) scheduling problem confronted in a real industrial environment in a manufacturing plant which provides electro-plating services to the electronic and semiconductor industries. It is modelled as a four-stage hybrid flowshop problem with multipl...
