Most of the currently available methods for determining makespan are based on complex mathematical programming techniques. The current research focuses at developing a novel method to determine makespan for zero wait batch processes using simple mathematics coupled with some rule based guidelines to be performed on a matrix containing the batch process recipes. The method is quite efficient and gives promising results with different batch process recipes. date: 2007 official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-84888349589&partnerID=40&md5=062d242ebdef2db72026d116e924bfa4 full_text_status: none publication: Lecture Notes in Engineering and Computer Science volume: 2 place_of_pub: Kowloon pagerange: 2038-2042 refereed: TRUE isbn: 9789889867171 issn: 20780958 citation: Shafeeq, A. and Abdul Mutalib, M.I. and Amminudin, K.A. and Muhammad, A.
