Batch sizing control of a flow shop based on the entropy-function theorems

作者：

Highlights：

• The information entropy functions of batch sizing are established.

• The two theorems on batch sizes and the system entropy functions are proposed.

• The two theorems are verified by the results of graphical representation.

• Providing a crucial decision-making basis for batch sizes arrangement.
