Abstract: This research deals with a batch scheduling problem to minimise total actual flowtime of parts through the shop with m heterogeneous batch processors, i.e., the machine simultaneously processing all parts in a batch. The parts to be processed are multiple items, and the completed parts must be delivered at different due dates. The total actual flow time of parts can be defined as an interval between arrival times of the parts and their respective due dates. The objective of minimising the total actual flowtime is not only to satisfy the due dates as a commitment to the customers, but also to minimise the length of total time spent by the parts in the shop. The problem is formulated as a mathematical model and an algorithm to solve the problem is proposed. Numerical examples show that the proposed algorithm can effectively solve the problem.
