Flow Shop Scheduling Problem with Missing Operations: Genetic Algorithm and Tabu Search

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...

An Improved Tabu Search Algorithm for Job Shop Scheduling Problem Trough Hybrid Solution Representations

Job shop scheduling problem (JSP) is an attractive field for researchers and production managers since it is a famous problem in many industries and a complex problem for researchers. Due to NP-hardness property of this problem, many meta-heuristics are developed to solve it. Solution representation (solution seed) is an important element for any meta-heuristic algorithm. Therefore, many resear...

Integrating Genetic Algorithm, Tabu Search Approach for Job Shop Scheduling

This paper presents a new algorithm based on integrating Genetic Algorithms and Tabu Search methods to solve the Job Shop Scheduling problem. The idea of the proposed algorithm is derived from Genetic Algorithms. Most of the scheduling problems require either exponential time or space to generate an optimal answer. Job Shop scheduling (JSS) is the general scheduling problem and it is a NP-compl...

A Tabu Genetic algorithm with Search Area Adaptation for the Job-Shop Scheduling Problem

The job-shop scheduling problem is the important issues to the research of optimal problems. Besides, tabu search is also applied to GA, called TGA for traveling salesman problem (TSP) that has better effectiveness than GA. Thus, this is an interest and important research area for job-shop scheduling problem with TGA. In this paper, we try to discuss this issue. According to the TGA, it maintai...
