文摘Lot scheduling problem with idle time transfer between processes to minimize mean flow time is very important because to minimize mean flow time is to minimize work in process. But the problem is NP hard and no polynomial algorithm exists to guarantee optimal solution. Based the analysis the mathematical structure of the problem, the paper presents a new heuristic algorithm. Computer simulation shows that the proposed heuristic algorithm performs well in terms of both quality of solution and execution speed.
