Popis: This article presents an integrated heuristic for the permutation flow-shop scheduling problem with the makespan criterion as one of the most widely studied classical sequencing problems in operations management. The proposed method consists of two phases: arranging the jobs in a priority order and then constructing a sequence by a job insertion principle. A fuzzy greedy evaluation function is employed to prioritize the jobs for incorporating into the construction phase of the proposed heuristic. It is shown that the developed method gives a significantly improved performance for a wide range of standard problems of varying sizes.
