Abstract

We consider no-wait production processes, where identical products are processed sequentially on n machines and transported by programmable hoists. We present an O ( n⁵ ) algorithm that determines the minimum number of hoists required for all possible cycle-times; given the number of hoists, it also finds the minimum-time cyclic hoist-schedule.
