Solving the Csum Permutation Flowshop Scheduling Problem by Genetic Local Search

چکیده
In this paper a new metaheuristic method is proposed to solve the classical permutation flowshop scheduling problem with the objective of minimizing sum of completion times. The representative neighbourhood combines the stochastic sampling method mainly used in Simulated Annealing and the best descent method elaborated in Tabu Search and integrates them naturally into a single method. The method is further extended into the Genetic Local Search framework by using a population and a special crossover operator called multi-step crossover fusion. Computational experiments using benchmark problems demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method. Keywords— flowshop scheduling, genetic algorithms, tabu search, stochastic sampling, path relinking

This investigation considers a reentrant permutation flowshop scheduling problem whose performance criterion is maximum tardiness. The reentrant flowshop (RFS) is a natural extension of the classical flowshop by allowing a job to visit certain machines more than once. The RFS scheduling problem, in which the job order is the same for each machine in each layer, is called a reentrant permutati...
متن کاملMulti-objective Differential Evolution for the Flow shop Scheduling Problem with a Modified Learning Effect
This paper proposes an effective multi-objective differential evolution algorithm (MDES) to solve a permutation flow shop scheduling problem (PFSSP) with modified Dejong's learning effect. The proposed algorithm combines the basic differential evolution (DE) with local search and borrows the selection operator from NSGA-II to improve the general performance. First the problem is encoded with a...
متن کاملSolving Re-entrant No-wait Flexible Flowshop Scheduling Problem; Using the Bottleneck-based Heuristic and Genetic Algorithm
In this paper, we study the re-entrant no-wait flexible flowshop scheduling problem with makespan minimization objective and then consider two parallel machines for each stage. The main characteristic of a re-entrant environment is that at least one job is likely to visit certain stages more than once during the process. The no-wait property describes a situation in which every job has its own ...
متن کاملOn the Neutrality of Flowshop Scheduling Fitness Landscapes
Solving efficiently complex problems using metaheuristics, and in particular local search algorithms, requires incorporating knowledge about the problem to solve. In this paper, the permutation flowshop problem is studied. It is well known that in such problems, several solutions may have the same fitness value. As this neutrality property is an important issue, it should be taken into account ...
متن کاملA Constructive Genetic Algorithm for permutation flowshop scheduling
The general flowshop scheduling problem is a production problem where a set of n jobs have to be processed with identical flow pattern on m machines. In permutation flowshops the sequence of jobs is the same on all machines. A significant research effort has been devoted for sequencing jobs in a flowshop minimizing the makespan. This paper describes the application of a Constructive Genetic Alg...
