Pareto-based Multi-criteria Evolutionary Algorithm for Parallel Machines Scheduling Problem with Sequence-dependent Setup Times
This paper addresses an unrelated multi-machine scheduling problem with sequence-dependent setup time, release date and processing set restriction to minimize the sum of weighted earliness/tardiness penalties and the sum of completion times, which is known to be NP-hard. A Mixed Integer Programming (MIP) model is proposed to formulate the considered multi-criteria problem. Also, to solve the mo...
متن کاملMulti-Objective Unrelated Parallel Machines Scheduling with Sequence-Dependent Setup Times and Precedence Constraints
This paper presents a novel, multi-objective model of a parallel machines scheduling problem that minimizes the number of tardy jobs and total completion time of all jobs. In this model, machines are considered as unrelated parallel units with different speeds. In addition, there is some precedence, relating the jobs with non-identical due dates and their ready times. Sequence-dependent setup t...
متن کاملScheduling jobs on parallel machines with sequence-dependent setup times
The study considers the scheduling problem of identical parallel machines subject to minimization of the maximumcompletion time and the maximum tardiness expressed in a linear convex objective function. The maximum completiontime or makespan is the date when the last job to be completed leaves the system. The maximum tardiness is indicated bythe job that is completed with the lo...
متن کاملLoad Balancing Using a Best-Path-Updating Information-Guided Ant Colony Optimization Algorithm
Abstract: Load balancing and phase balancing are important complement to reconfiguration of the feeder and the network.In the distribution automation ,these issues must be solved continuously and simultaneously to ensure the optimal performance of a distribution network.Distribution network imbalance has various consequences such as increase in power losses, voltage drop,cost increase,etc.In th...
متن کاملA branch-and-price algorithm for scheduling parallel machines with sequence dependent setup times
We consider the problem of scheduling n independent jobs on m unrelated parallel machines with sequence-dependent setup times and availability dates for the machines and release dates for the jobs to minimize a regular additive cost function. In this work, we develop a new branch-and-price optimization algorithm for the solution of this general class of parallel machines scheduling problems. A ...
