Solving No-Wait Flow Shop Scheduling Problems by a Hybrid Quantum-Inspired Evolutionary Algorithm

چکیده
This paper is the first to consider the hybrid quantum-inspired evolutionary algorithm (HQEA) on the no-wait permutation flow shop scheduling problem (PFSP) for minimizing the makespan. In this HQEA, the quantum chromosomes are encoded by using the quantum rotating angle and a simple but efficient converting mechanism for determining job sequence is proposed for the representation of solution firstly. Then, we adopt differential operation to perform the updating of quantum gate and the local search to perform exploitation in the promising permutation-based solutions. We make the simulations on famous benchmarks and the comparisons with other state-of-the-art approaches demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed HQEA for no-wait flow shop scheduling problem.

متن کاملImproved teaching–learning-based and JAYA optimization algorithms for solving flexible flow shop scheduling problems
Flexible flow shop (or a hybrid flow shop) scheduling problem is an extension of classical flow shop scheduling problem. In a simple flow shop configuration, a job having ‘g’ operations is performed on ‘g’ operation centres (stages) with each stage having only one machine. If any stage contains more than one machine for providing alternate processing facility, then the problem...

In this study, we consider the production environment of no-wait reentrant flow shop with the objective of minimizing makespan of the jobs. In a reentrant flow shop, at least one job should visit at least one of the machines more than once. In a no-wait flowshop scheduling problem, when the process of a specific job begins on the first machine, it should constantly be processed without waiting ...
