Abstract: This paper studies the two-machine flowshop scheduling problem with anticipatory setup times and an availability constraint imposed on only one of the machines where interrupted jobs can resume their operations. We present a heuristic algorithm from Wang and Cheng to minimize makespan and use simulation to determine the actual error bound.
