Efficient Heuristic Optimization in Single Machine Scheduling
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we present a comparison of heuristic optimization algorithms for single machine scheduling problems with and without arbitrary job release times. The main focus of our analysis is the efficiency of the examined methods, i.e. how they perform under strictly limited computation time. Furthermore, we study the effects of arbitrary release times on problem difficulty and required computation time. Experimental results are presented for benchmark problem instances of reasonable size.

Net Present Value of Cash Flows in Single Machine and Flow Shop Scheduling Problems
While a great portion of the scheduling literature focuses on time-based criteria, the most important goal of management is maximizing the profitability of the firm. In this paper, the net preset value criterion is studied taking account of linear time-dependent cash flows in single machine and flow shop scheduling problems. First, a heuristic method is presented for the single machine scheduli...

In this paper, an integrated machine scheduling withits due date setting problem has been considered. It is assumed that the machine is subject to some kind of random unavailability. Due dates should be set in an attractive and reliable manner, implying that they should be short and possible to be met. To this end, first, long due dates are penalized in the objective function. Then, for each cu...

متن کاملMeta heuristic for Minimizing Makespan in a Flow-line Manufacturing Cell with Sequence Dependent Family Setup Times
This paper presents a new mathematical model for the problem of scheduling part families and jobs within each part family in a flow line manufacturing cell where the setup times for each family are sequence dependent and it is desired to minimize the maximum completion time of the last job on the last machine (makespan) while processing parts (jobs) in each family together. Gaining an optimal s...
