This paper addresses a constrained distributed flowshop scheduling problem (CDFSP) that widely exists in modern manufacturing industry but has not been investigated before. Different from the distributed flowshop scheduling problem (DFSP) in the literature, CDFSP considers that all jobs are grouped...
