Abstract

Scheduling problem is a problem concerned with searching for an optimal or near optimal schedule subject to a number of constraints. Neuromas approaches have been investigated to solve the problem of scheduling with an aim to determine the sequence of processing jobs on a given set of machines. Its importance and relevance to industry has been promoted. Scheduling requires a variety of activities to accomplish a particular purpose within time and budget. Flow shop is the most classical study manufacturing environment in scheduling literature. This chapter deals with a special structured n-job of three machine flow shop scheduling with piecewise quadratic fuzzy processing times. One of the best approximate intervals, namely close interval approximation of PQFNs, is introduced. A fuzzy approach with the help of a heuristic algorithm is developed for minimizing the rental cost of machines under the specified rental cost. A numerical example is given to demonstrate the computational efficiency of the proposed algorithm.
