Abstract

This paper represent the performance evaluation of the Bottleneck-based heuristic, namely Bottleneck Machine M1 (NH1) heuristic to generate near-optimal solution (shortest completion time) for three machines flow shop scheduling. In this study, the NH1 heuristic algorithm is developed using the Microsoft Excel which is equipped with Visual Basic Application (VBA). The developed algorithm is then simulated within the software using data and information obtained from previous studies and the performance is evaluated. it was found that the NH1 heuristic may not be practical if the number of jobs to be processed is getting larger.
