Minimizing Makespan in General Flow-shop Scheduling Problem Using a Ga-based Improvement Heuristic
نویسنده
چکیده
In the paper an improvement heuristic is proposed for permutation flow-shop problem based on the idea of evolutionary algorithm. The approach employs constructive heuristic that gives a good initial solution. GA-based improvement heuristic is applied in conjunction with three well-known constructive heuristics, namely CDS, Gupta’s algorithm and Palmer’s Slope Index. The approach is tested on benchmark set of 10 problems range from 4 to 25 jobs and 4 to 30 machines. The results are also compared to the best-known lower-bound

MILP Formulation and Genetic Algorithm for Non-permutation Flow Shop Scheduling Problem with Availability Constraints
In this paper, we consider a flow shop scheduling problem with availability constraints (FSSPAC) for the objective of minimizing the makespan. In such a problem, machines are not continuously available for processing jobs due to preventive maintenance activities. We proposed a mixed-integer linear programming (MILP) model for this problem which can generate non-permutation schedules. Furthermor...
متن کاملMinimizing Makespan with Start Time Dependent Jobs in a Two Machine Flow Shop
[if gte mso 9]> The purpose of this paper is to consider the problem of scheduling a set of start time-dependent jobs in a two-machine flow shop, in which the actual processing times of jobs increase linearly according to their starting time. The objective of this problem is to minimize the makespan. The problem is known to be NP-hardness[ah1] ; therefore, there is no polynomial-time algorithm...
متن کاملSolving Re-entrant No-wait Flow Shop Scheduling Problem
In this study, we consider the production environment of no-wait reentrant flow shop with the objective of minimizing makespan of the jobs. In a reentrant flow shop, at least one job should visit at least one of the machines more than once. In a no-wait flowshop scheduling problem, when the process of a specific job begins on the first machine, it should constantly be processed without waiting ...
متن کاملMinimization of Total Weighted Tardiness and Makespan for SDST Flow Shop Scheduling using Genetic Algorithm
In the present work, SDST flow shop scheduling with minimizing the weighted sum of total weighted tardiness and makespan have been considered simultaneously. Four modified heuristic have been proposed for preliminary viable sequence. Sequence obtained from the modified heuristics is combined with the initial seed sequence of genetic algorithm and called as Genetic Algorithm (GA). Hence four dif...
متن کاملA Mathematical Model for a Flow Shop Scheduling Problem with Fuzzy Processing Times
This paper presents a mathematical model for a flow shop scheduling problem consisting of m machine and n jobs with fuzzy processing times that can be estimated as independent stochastic or fuzzy numbers. In the traditional flow shop scheduling problem, the typical objective is to minimize the makespan). However,, two significant criteria for each schedule in stochastic models are: expectable m...
