Through the use of an effective simulated annealing algorithm, this paper presents an extensive computational investigation concerning the performance evaluation of non-permutation vs. permutation schedules for the flowline manufacturing cell with sequence dependent setup times. The results show that there are significant improvements made by using non-permutation schedules over permutation schedules regarding completion-time based and due-date based criteria. It is suggested that practitioners could adopt non-permutation schedules to improve their operational efficiency within a reasonable amount of computational effort.
