Abstract

This chapter deals with multi-operation models that are different from the job shop models considered in the previous chapter. In a job shop each job has a fixed route that is predetermined. In practice, it often occurs that the route of the job is immaterial and up to the scheduler to decide. When the routes of the jobs are open, the model is referred to as an open shop.
