A Local Search Heuristic for Unrelated Parallel Machine Scheduling with Efficient Neighborhood Search
نویسنده
چکیده
The parallel mechine scheduling problem with unrelated machines is studied where the objective is to minimize the maximum makespan. In this paper, new local search algorithms are proposed where the neighborhood search of a solution uses the “efficiency” of the machinea for each job. It is shown that this method yields better solutions and shorter running times than the more general local search heuristics. Keywords-unrelated parallel machine scheduling, Local search.

Heuristic 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 کاملSolving Parallel Machine Scheduling Problems with Variable Depth Local Search
We present new local search heuristics for the problem of scheduling jobs on identical parallel machines with the goal of minimizing total weighted completion time. Our proposed algorithm is a local search method based on combining a variable number of insertion moves. We develop an efficient heuristic for finding a profitable sequence of insertion moves. In a computational study, we compare th...
متن کاملFlexible flowshop scheduling with equal number of unrelated parallel machines
This article addresses a multi-stage flowshop scheduling problem with equal number of unrelated parallel machines. The objective is to minimize the makespan for a given set of jobs in the system. This problem class is NP-hard in the strong sense, so a hybrid heuristic method for sequencing and then allocating operations of jobs to machines is developed. A number of test problems are randomly ge...
متن کاملLot Streaming in No-wait Multi Product Flowshop Considering Sequence Dependent Setup Times and Position Based Learning Factors
This paper considers a no-wait multi product flowshop scheduling problem with sequence dependent setup times. Lot streaming divide the lots of products into portions called sublots in order to reduce the lead times and work-in-process, and increase the machine utilization rates. The objective is to minimize the makespan. To clarify the system, mathematical model of the problem is presented. Sin...
