This study considers a scheduling problem with ready times for multi-functional machines. The objective is to develop and evaluate heuristic algorithms that optimize the make-span, the mean flow time and the machine utilization. A numerical example illustrates the proposed heuristic algorithm. The result shows that the our algorithm provides better solution in multiple performance measures than another heuristic algorithms.
