N2 - In this paper we consider two-machine flow shop scheduling with two agents. Two models are investigated. One is the weighted-sum optimization model and the other is the constrained optimization model. For the former, we show that it is weakly NP-hard and propose a fully polynomial time approximation scheme. For the latter, we also show the problem is weakly NP-hard.With violating the constraint a factor of ε a fully polynomial time approximation scheme is provided.
