Abstract: Abstract: Because of the existence of flexible resource and learning effect in real flow shop, a two-stage heuristic algorithm is proposed to solve the problem of flexible resource constrained flow shop scheduling with learning effect. The proposed heuristic algorithm adopts NEH algorithm in first stage to obtain feasible job sequence, and then assigns resource and decides job start time on the basis of analysis of optimal attributes of this kind of problems. Extensive numerical test indicates the effectiveness of the proposed heuristic algorithm and potential capacity to solve realistic problems, and demonstrates the importance of considering both learning effect and flexible resource when making flow shop scheduling to improve productivity.
