For the flow shop scheduling problem which aims to minimize makespan, this paper gives a new derivation about its mathematical definition, and mining characteristics of the problem itself further. By which analysis, the new heuristic method proposed in the paper shorten the waiting time of each job as much as possible on the basis of reduce the processing time of the first machine and last job. The result of simulation experiments shows that, our new heuristic algorithm has good performance, and the average quality and stability of scheduling sequences generated by new method is significantly better than other heuristic algorithm which has the same complexity.

We consider a batch scheduling problem in which the processing time of a batch of jobs equals the maximum of the processing times of all jobs in the batch. This is the case, for example, for burn-in operations in semiconductor manufacturing and other testing operations. Processing times are assumed to be random, and we consider minimizing the makespan and the flow time. The problem is much more difficult than the corresponding deterministic problem, and the optimal policy may have many counterintuitive properties. We prove various structural properties of the optimal policy and use these to develop a polynomial-time algorithm to compute the optimal policy.
