Ant Colony Optimisation for multi-level assembly job shop scheduling
نویسندگان
چکیده
Job shop scheduling is one of the most explored areas in the last few decades. Although it is very commonly witnessed in real-life situations, very less investigation has been carried out in scheduling operations of multi-level jobs, which undergo serial, parallel, and assembly operations in an assembly job shop. In this work, some of the dispatch rules, which have best performances in scheduling multilevel jobs in dynamic assembly job shop, are tested in static assembly job shop environment. A new optimization heuristic based on Ant Colony Algorithm is proposed and its performance is compared with the dispatch rules.

Ant Colony Optimisation for Job Shop Scheduling
A recent adaptive algorithm, named Ant System, is introduced and used to solve the problem of job shop scheduling. The algorithm was first introduced by Dorigo, Maniezzo and Colorni in 1991 and is derived from the foraging and recruiting behaviour observed in an ant colony. It can be applied to combinatorial optimisation problems. This paper outlines the algorithm’s implementation and performan...
متن کاملFlexible job-shop scheduling with routing flexibility and separable setup times using ant colony optimisation method
This paper proposes an ant colony optimisation-based software system for solving FMS scheduling in a job-shop environment with routing flexibility, sequence-dependent setup and transportation time. In particular, the optimisation problem for a real environment, including parallel machines and operation lag times, has been approached by means of an effective pheromone trail coding and tailored a...
متن کاملA hybrid ant colony optimisation algorithm for job shop problems and its convergence analysis
This paper presents a hybrid ant colony optimisation (HACO) algorithm for solving job shop problems. The criterion considered is the maximum completion time, the so-called makespan. The HACO algorithm improves the performance of intelligence optimisation algorithm, which adopts ant colony optimisation (ACO) algorithm to search in the global solution space, and tabu search (TS) algorithm is util...
متن کاملA Performance Study for the Multi-objective Ant Colony Optimization Algorithms on the Job Shop Scheduling Problem
Most of the research on job shop scheduling problem are concerned with minimization of a single objective. However, the real world applications of job shop scheduling problems are involved in optimizing multiple objectives. Therefore, in recent years ant colony optimization algorithms have been proposed to solve job shop scheduling problems with multiple objectives. In this paper, some recent m...
متن کاملSolution Representation for Job Shop Scheduling Problems in Ant Colony Optimisation
Ant colony optimisation, a constructive metaheuristic inspired by the foraging behaviour of ants, has been applied to a wide range of problems since its inception. Many of these are production scheduling problems such as the job shop, in which a collection of operations (grouped into jobs) must be scheduled for processing on different machines. In typical ACO applications, solutions are generat...
