The procedure provides optimal/near-optimal solutions over a wide range of problems. It performs well compared with other heuristics, and it is effective in finding solutions for large problems.EnglishAlgorithmsApproximation theoryFunctionsHeuristic methodsOptimal control systemsSchedulingBatch-partition heuristicsMachine scheduling problemPair-wise switchingMinimizing Lmax for the single machine scheduling problem with family set-upsArticle10.1080/002075404100017165611366-588X
