description This paper addresses the Flexible Job Shop Scheduling Problem (FJSP) with the objective of minimizing both earliness/tardiness (E/T) and intermediate storage time (IST). An extended S-graph framework that incorporates E/T and IST minimization while maintaining the structural advantages of the original S-graph approach is presented. The framework is further enhanced by integrating linear programming (LP) techniques to adjust machine assignments and operation timings dynamically. The following four methodological approaches are systematically analyzed: a standalone S-graph for E/T minimization, an S-graph for combined E/T and IST minimization, a hybrid S-graph with LP for E/T minimization, and a comprehensive hybrid approach addressing both E/T and IST. Computational experiments on benchmark problems demonstrate the efficacy of the proposed methods, with the standalone S-graph showing efficiency for smaller instances and the hybrid approaches offering improved solution quality for more complex scenarios. The research provides insights into the trade-offs between computational time and solution quality across different problem configurations and storage policies. This work contributes to the field of production scheduling by offering a versatile framework capable of addressing the multi-objective nature of modern manufacturing environments.
