The earliness/tardiness Flow Shop scheduling problems with different due windows are discussed in the paper, which is typical of the finite intermediate storage time of products. The uncertain processing time is dealt with by fuzzy mathematics, and a scheduling model is then established based on the fuzzy programming theory. Furthermore, a fuzzy scheduling algorithm is proposed by analogy with the concept and the principle of biological immune system. Finally, the effectiveness of the fuzzy scheduling model and the high efficiency of the proposed method are demonstrated by simulation results. rv:
