Comparing Heuristic, Evolutionary and Local Search Approaches to Scheduling

چکیده
The choice of search algorithm can play a vital role in the success of a scheduling application. In this paper, we investigate the contribution of search algorithms in solving a real-world warehouse scheduling problem. We compare performance of three types of scheduling algorithms: heuristic, genetic algorithms and local search. Additionally, we assess the innuence of heuristics on search performance and check for bias induced by using a fast objective function to evaluate intermediate search results.

This paper presents a new multi objective job shop scheduling with sequence-dependent setup times. The objectives are to minimize the makespan and sum of the earliness and tardiness of jobs in a time window. A mixed integer programming model is developed for the given problem that belongs to NP-hard class. In this case, traditional approaches cannot reach to an optimal solution in a reasonable...

The time interval between consecutive maintenance activities as well as the...
متن کاملHeuristic approach to solve hybrid flow shop scheduling problem with unrelated parallel machines
In hybrid flow shop scheduling problem (HFS) with unrelated parallel machines, a set of n jobs are processed on k machines. A mixed integer linear programming (MILP) model for the HFS scheduling problems with unrelated parallel machines has been proposed to minimize the maximum completion time (makespan). Since the problem is shown to be NP-complete, it is necessary to use heuristic methods to ...
متن کاملImproved Particle Swarm Optimization for Solving Multiprocessor Scheduling Problem: Enhancements and Hybrid Methods
Memetic algorithms (MAs) are hybrid evolutionary algorithms (EAs) that combine global and local search by using an EA to perform exploration while the local search method performs exploitation. Combining global and local search is a strategy used by many successful global optimization approaches, and MAs have in fact been recognized as a powerful algorithmic paradigm for evolutionary computing....
متن کاملA heuristic approach for multi-stage sequence-dependent group scheduling problems
We present several heuristic algorithms based on tabu search for solving the multi-stage sequence-dependent group scheduling (SDGS) problem by considering minimization of makespan as the criterion. As the problem is recognized to be strongly NP-hard, several meta (tabu) search-based solution algorithms are developed to efficiently solve industry-size problem instances. Also, two different initi...
