In production systems, one of the main part routing problems is the determining the best process sequence and the
best machine-operation pairing. In real world systems, flexibility
is important to provide alternative part routings. The system is
considered flexible when certain operation of a part can be
processed on more than one machine. However, flexibility
increases the complexity of system. This paper deals with
assignment of operations to a machine and determining the best
process plan for each part under flexible environment. We used a
harmony search algorithm to cope with highly complex and
nonlinear problem in which makespan is considered as the
objective function and evaluated by using a simulation model.
