Flow Shop Scheduling Problem in Neutrosophic Environment Using Trapezoidal Fuzzy Numbers

Abstract

In this paper, we propose to solve the flow shop scheduling problem using
Branch and Bound method. This paper presents an algorithm with the help of branch and
bound approach for a flow shop scheduling problems consisting of 4 jobs and 4 machines
in which the processing time as Neutrosophic trapezoidal fuzzy numbers which are further
converted in to crisp value using graded mean ranking method. Numerical example is given
to illustrate the study of solving flow shop scheduling under Neutrosophic trapezoidal
fuzzy number using branch and bound technique.
