Abstract: We consider the ordinary NP- hard two-machine flow shop problem with the objective of determining simultaneously a minimal common due date and the minimal number of tardy jobs. We present an O(n2) algorithm for the problem when the machines are ordered, that is, when each job has its smaller processing time on the first (second) machine. We also discuss the applicability of the proposed algorithm to the corresponding single-objective problem in which the common due date is given.
