Combination of Local Search Strategies for Rotating Workforce Scheduling Problem
نویسنده
چکیده
Rotating workforce scheduling is a typical constraint satisfaction problem which appears in a broad range of work places (e.g. industrial plants). Solving this problem is of a high practical relevance. In this paper we propose the combination of tabu search with random walk and min conflicts strategy to solve this problem. Computational results for benchmark examples in literature and other real life examples show that combination of tabu search with random walk and min conflicts strategy improves the performance of tabu search for this problem. The methods proposed in this paper improve performance of the state of art commercial system for generation of rotating workforce schedules.

This paper introduces the effects of job deterioration and sequence dependent set- up time in a single machine scheduling problem. The considered optimization criterion is the minimization of the makespan (Cmax). For this purpose, after formulating the mathematical model, genetic and tabu search algorithms were developed for the problem. Since population diversity is a very important issue in ...

In this paper an integrated lot-sizing and scheduling problem in a flexible job shop environment with machine-capacity-constraint is studied. The main objective is to minimize the total cost which includes the inventory costs, production costs and the costs of machine’s idle times. First, a new mixed integer programming model,with small bucket time approach,based onProportional Lot sizing and S...
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...
