Efficient Bounding Schemes for the Two-Center Hybrid Flow Shop Scheduling Problem with Removal Times

We focus on the two-center hybrid flow shop scheduling problem with identical parallel machines and removal times. The job removal time is the required duration to remove it from a machine after its processing. The objective is to minimize the maximum completion time (makespan). A heuristic and a lo...
