Abstract

In this paper, we propose 260 randomly generated scheduling problems whose size is greater than that of the rare examples published. Such sizes correspond to real dimensions of industrial problems. The types of problems that we propose are: the permutation flow shop, the job shop and the open shop scheduling problems. We restrict ourselves to basic problems: the processing times are fixed, there are neither set-up times nor due dates nor release dates, etc. Then, the objective is the minimization of the makespan.
