The determination of a production sequence is an important problem in a batch process operation. In this paper, newly modified algorithms for a near optimal production sequence of N products in a M unit serial batch process are proposed. The basic principles are taken from the extended Johnson`s algorithm and the RA algorithm. Test results on a number of selected examples exhibit the superiority of the newly modified algorithm.
