A branch and bound algorithm for the two-machine flowshop problem with unit-time operations and time delays
RAIRO - Operations Research - Recherche Opérationnelle, Tome 48 (2014) no. 2, pp. 235-254.

In this paper we consider the problem of scheduling, on a two-machine flowshop, a set of unit-time operations subject to time delays with respect to the makespan. This problem is known to be 𝒩𝒫-hard in the strong sense. We propose an algorithm based on a branch and bound enumeration scheme. This algorithm includes the implementation of new lower and upper bound procedures, and dominance rules. A computer simulation to measure the performance of the algorithm is provided for a wide range of test problems.
