Abstract	We consider the problem of scheduling customer orders in a flow shop with the objective of minimizing the sum of tardiness, earliness (finished goods inventory holding), and intermediate (work-in-process) inventory holding costs. We formulate this problem as an integer program, and based on approximate solutions to two different, but closely related, Dantzig-Wolfe reformulations, we develop heuristics to minimize the total cost. We exploit the duality between Dantzig-Wolfe reformulation and Lagrangian relaxation to enhance our heuristics. This com- bined approach enables us to develop two different lower bounds on the optimal integer solution, together with intuitive approaches for obtaining near-optimal feasible integer solutions. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first paper that applies column generation to a scheduling problem with different types of strongly -hard pricing problems which are solved heuristi- cally. The computational study demonstrates that our algorithms have a significant speed advantage over alternate methods, yield good lower bounds, and generate near-optimal feasible integer solutions for problem instances with many machines and a realistically large number of jobs. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
