Abstract

In this paper we consider coupled-task single-machine and two-machine flow shop scheduling problems with exact delays, unit processing times, and the makespan as an objective function. The main results of the paper are fast 7/4- and 3/2-approximation algorithms for solving the single- and two-machine problems, respectively.
