Abstract: In this paper, we consider no-wait job shop scheduling problem with makespan objective. In the no-wait problem two consecutive operations in each job must be processed without any interruption. No-wait job shop problem is strongly NP-hard. Mascis and Pacciarelli proposed an algorithm for no-wait job shop problem that produces good quality solution for benchmark problems but it mostly failed in finding a feasible solution. Therefore, we introduce a new neighbourhood structure in our tabu search to resolve this problem.
