Abstract

In this paper we consider stochastic flow-shop scheduling with reference to certain lateness-related performance measures. We show that for various assumptions on the distribution of job-processing times of a flow shop, certain scheduling policies following the stochastic analogy of the Earliest Due Date (EDD) rule yield optimal results.
