To solve the problem of batch processing machines with non-identical job size in the flow shop environment, the model of minimizing makespan is proposed using mixed integer programming method, and the computational complexity is analyzed. Then the bounds of the number of feasible solutions are given under fixed number of machines and jobs. A hybrid ant colony algorithm is de- signed to optimize makespan, and the algorithm combines with the searching mechanism and the batching heuristics rule to minimize makespan. A simulated annealing method is used to improve colony algorithm in path choice mechanism, and it avoids the defects of local optimal and slowly convergence speed. Instances with random variables are presented and used to test the algorithm, and the ex- perimental results show that the algorithm is better than the other methods in several aspects, including the optimal solution, mean running time and makespan.
