Abstract: Abstract The advancement of technology enables manufacturing companies to employ multifunction machines to increase the flexibility of a system in producing miscellaneous products in a short time. In this situation, goods can be usually produced through different process plans, and considering process planning and scheduling in an integrated framework would be essential. Furthermore, group processing is regarded to overcome the difficulty of long setup times and consequently increase the productivity of a manufacturing system. This paper deals with the integrated process planning and group scheduling problem with sequence-dependent setup time between each group of jobs. Two mixed-integer linear programming models with different approaches are presented. Moreover, two metaheuristic algorithms are proposed to solve the problems heuristically. The experiments show the high performance of the combination-based mathematical model for small-size problems as well as the proposed metaheuristic algorithms for medium-size and large-size instances.
