Factory management plays an important role in improving the productivity and quality of service in the production process. In particular, the distributed permutation flow shop scheduling problem with multiple factories is considered a priority factor in the factory automation. This study proposes a novel model of the developed distributed scheduling by supplementing the reentrant characteristic...

This paper studies the generalized normal distribution algorithm (GNDO) performance for tackling permutation flow shop scheduling problem (PFSSP). Because PFSSP is a discrete and GNDO generates continuous values, largest ranked value rule used to convert those values into ones make applicable solving this problem. Additionally, effectively integrated with local search strategy improve quality o...
