Teleo Agents 58c5d59380 rio: extract 1 claim from FJSP scheduling review
- What: grand-strategy claim that hybrid flow-shop pipelines with few stages and homogeneous workers achieve near-optimal throughput with simple dispatching rules (within 5-10% of optimal), making metaheuristic optimization unnecessary
- Why: ScienceDirect FJSP review (2023) establishes this bound from OR literature; directly relevant to Teleo pipeline architecture (research → extract → eval is a hybrid flow-shop)
- Connections: links to [[designing coordination rules is categorically different from designing coordination outcomes]] and [[mechanism design enables incentive-compatible coordination]] in foundations/collective-intelligence
- Note: source was tagged internet-finance but contains no internet-finance claims; claim correctly placed in grand-strategy; domain mismatch flagged in archive

The Flexible Job Shop Scheduling Problem: A Review

Comprehensive review of the Flexible Job Shop Scheduling Problem (FJSP) — a generalization of classical JSSP where operations can be processed on any machine from a set of eligible machines.

Key Content

  • Classical Job Shop Scheduling Problem (JSSP): n jobs, m machines, fixed operation-to-machine mapping, NP-complete for m > 2
  • Flexible JSSP (FJSP): operations can run on any eligible machine — adds machine assignment as a decision variable
  • Flow-shop: all jobs follow the same machine order (our pipeline: research → extract → eval)
  • Job-shop: jobs can have different machine orders (not our case)
  • Hybrid flow-shop: multiple machines at each stage, jobs follow same stage order but can use any machine within a stage (THIS is our model)
  • Solution approaches: metaheuristics (genetic algorithms, simulated annealing, tabu search) dominate for NP-hard instances
  • Recent trend: multi-agent reinforcement learning for dynamic scheduling with worker heterogeneity and uncertainty

Relevance to Teleo Pipeline

Our pipeline is a hybrid flow-shop: three stages (research → extract → eval), multiple workers at each stage, all sources flow through the same stage sequence. This is computationally easier than general JSSP. Key insight: for a hybrid flow-shop with relatively few stages and homogeneous workers within each stage, simple priority dispatching rules (shortest-job-first, FIFO within priority classes) perform within 5-10% of optimal. We don't need metaheuristics — we need good dispatching rules.
