We introduce four types of flexibility encountered in a flow shop: job routing through a hybrid shop, machine assignment, allocation of a scarce resource over the tasks to speed up processing, and the composition of daily production batches to satisfy requirements for a finite set of parts over a finite horizon. Two forms of machine flexibility are considered: multitasking where a machine can do more than one task of a job, and multiprocessing where several machines may combine to process a task. In each case, we present some or all of the following: complexity results, solution algorithms or heuristics with worst case performance, and assessments on the benefits of flexibility.
