This paper addresses the serial batch scheduling problem embedded in a job shop environment to minimize makespan. Sequence dependent family setup times and a job availability assumption are also taken into account. In consideration of batching decisions, we propose a tabu search algorithm which consists of various neighborhood functions, multiple tabu lists and a sophisticated diversification structure. Computational experiments show that our algorithm outperforms a well-known tabu search approach which is developed for solving the traditional job shop problem. These results also confirm the benefits of batching.
