Abstract: Abstract In static-deterministic flow shop scheduling, solution algorithms are often tested by problem instances with uniformly distributed processing times. However, there are scheduling problems where a certain structure, variability or distribution of processing times appear. While the influence of these aspects on common objectives, like makespan and total completion time, has been discussed intensively, the efficiency-oriented objectives core idle time and core waiting time have not been taken into account so far. Therefore, a first computational study using complete enumeration is provided to analyze the influence of different structures of processing times on core idle time and core waiting time. The results show that in some cases an increased variability of processing times can lead to easier solvable problems.
