Algorithm 1

CA-D.
Step 1: process type A subjobs on each stage of the dedicated flow-shop in the sequence of and process type B subjobs on each stage of the dedicated flow-shop in the sequence of . Assemble the jobs in the sequence of
Step 2: jobs are delivered in batches. For , batch contains , and the last batch contains .
Step 3: the vehicle distributes the batches in the sequence of , and the routing inside each batch is in the same sequence as that on the assembly machine. (The jobs are delivered in the sequence of .)
