Abstract
With new production technologies special scheduling problems have been formulated. In this survey we will discuss some specific features of scheduling in flexible manufacturing systems like general shop scheduling problems, scheduling for multi-purpose machines, combined scheduling and transportation problems, families of jobs (operations) and changeover costs, batching, and due-date scheduling.
