Filtering Algorithms for Batch Processing with Sequence Dependent Setup Times
نویسندگان
چکیده
Domain filtering is a powerful technique for reduction of the search space during solving combinatorial problems like scheduling. In this paper we present several filtering algorithms designed specifically for scheduling in batch processing environments with sequence dependent setup times. We extend two known algorithms, namely edge finding and not-first/not-last technique, and we present a new filtering algorithm called not-before/not-after. Each of these algorithms removes some inconsistencies that are not detected by the other two algorithms. Thus, all the algorithms are assumed to run together to achieve better pruning.

A comparison of algorithms for minimizing the sum of earliness and tardiness in hybrid flow-shop scheduling problem with unrelated parallel machines and sequence-dependent setup times
In this paper, the flow-shop scheduling problem with unrelated parallel machines at each stage as well as sequence-dependent setup times under minimization of the sum of earliness and tardiness are studied. The processing times, setup times and due-dates are known in advance. To solve the problem, we introduce a hybrid memetic algorithm as well as a particle swarm optimization algorithm combine...

This paper considers identical parallel machines scheduling problem with past-sequence-dependent setup times, deteriorating jobs and learning effects, in which the actual processing time of a job on each machine is given as a function of the processing times of the jobs already processed and its scheduled position on the corresponding machine. In addition, the setup time of a job on each machin...

A constraint propagation (filtering) turned out to be an efficient method how to reduce search space for backtrack-based algorithms. This paper brings several improvements of filtering methods for batch processing with sequence dependent setup times. The first one is domain filtering based on a precedence graph—such filtering can be useful even when no precedences are given at the start. I desc...
