We apply the global optimization technique called taboo search to the job shop scheduling problem and show that our method is typically more efficient than the shifting bottleneck procedure, and also more efficient than a recently proposed simulated annealing implementation. We also identify a type of problem for which taboo search provides an optimal solution in a polynomial mean time in practice, while an implementation of the shifting bottleneck procedure seems to take an exponential amount of computation time. Included are computational results that establish new best solutions for a number of benchmark problems from the literature. Finally, we give a fast parallel algorithm that provides good solutions to very large problems in a very short computation time.
