Abstract: Scheduling is an important feature in a production planning and control system. Scheduling problems in a shop floor are classified into three broad categories as flow shop scheduling, job shop scheduling and open shop scheduling. A number of research works have been carried out in flow shop and job shop scheduling problems. An abstract has been made in this work to optimise the performance criteria minimising of tardiness for an open shop scheduling problem. The problem consists of 'n' jobs and 'm& machines in an open shop scheduling environment. The two meta-heuristic algorithms firefly and genetic algorithm have been applied to get the optimal result for the performance criteria. Finally the results are analysed.
