Machine scheduling problems arise in many production processes, and are something that needs to be consider when optimizing the supply chain. Among them, flowshop happen a number of jobs have sequentially processed by machines. This paper addressees, for first time, Permutation Flowshop Scheduling problem with additional Resources during Setups (PFSR-S). In this problem, addition standard permu...

The aim of this paper is to propose a new particle swarm optimization algorithm to solve a hybrid flowshop scheduling with sequence-dependent setup times problem, which is of great importance in the industrial context. This algorithm is called diversified particle swarm optimization algorithm which is a generalization of particle swarm optimization algorithm and inspired by an anarchic society ...
