Ivan Lazar, Approaches to Solving of Permutation Flow Shop Scheduling Problem: An Exploration Study, Research Journal of Applied Sciences, Volume 7,Issue 9, 2012, Pages 426-434, ISSN 1815-932x, rjasci.2012.426.434, (https://makhillpublications.co/view-article.php?doi=rjasci.2012.426.434) Abstract: Permutation flow shop scheduling problems present an important class of sequencing problems in the realm of production planning. The study briefly reviews typical categories of the PFSSPs in accordance with a defined classification scheme of the particular problems. Subsequently, a review of frequent approaches and methods for PFSSP solving is treated. A final section of the study summarizes findings of this review that is mapping the field over field over the last 25 years. Keywords: Flow shop;PFSSP;mapping;realm;production
