We consider a single-machine scheduling problem dealing with the manufacture of components for subsequent assembly into end products. Each product requires both unique components and common components, and each production requires a setup. By making some assumptions on the data and the availability of the components for assembly, Baker provides on efficient dynamic programming algorithm for obtaining the optimal schedule. In this paper we do not impose any requirement on the data, and we solve the more complicated batching and sequencing problem. We suggest a simple heuristic method that is efficient and finds solutions that are optimal or close to the optimal solution.
