Summary/Abstract: In this research, a single batch machine scheduling problem with sequence dependent setup time is studied with the aim of minimizing the completion time. This problem has been proven to be NP-hard and therefore, a tabu search algorithm is developed to solve the single batch machine scheduling problem. Furthermore, a genetic algorithm and several dispatching heuristics are also developed to study the capabilities of all the algorithms in providing the average completion time. The computational result reveals that the developed tabu search algorithm is capable of producing a better outcome compared to the other algorithms.
