SUMMARY
This research studies the Flow shop - Job shop methodologies, which play a fundamental role in the reduction of costs in factories when planning the production sequence. The selection methodology of articles used in this research took into account that the papers were indexed or approved, in addition to being in a range of no more than ten years of publication. The research results showed a higher percentage of articles on the job shop methodology. We concluded that minimizing production costs is the main objective of production scheduling based on Flow shop - Job shop methodologies. However, in the last decade, the objective has been focused on reducing energy costs since they allow to evaluate the processes to program when to turn on or off a machine.
