A Comparison of Genetic Algorithms forthe Dynamic Job Shop Scheduling

چکیده

The majority of the research using evolutionary algorithms for the Job Shop Scheduling Problem (JSSP) has studied only the static JSSP. Few evolutionary algorithms have been applied to the Dynamic Job Shop Scheduling Problem (DJSSP) which is more similar to real-world applications. We implement a hybrid genetic algorithm for solving the dynamic job shop problem. A direct chromosome representation, containing the schedule itself, is used. Order-based operators are combined with techniques that produce active and non-delay schedules. We refer to our algorithm as the Order-Based Gif-er and Thompson (OBGT) Genetic Algorithm. OBGT is compared in terms of the quality of solutions against published solutions for benchmark problems. OBGT consistently nds better solutions on larger problems compared to several other evolutionary algorithms, including Temporal Horizon GA (THX) and Heuristically guided GA (HGA).

Hybrid algorithms for Job shop Scheduling Problem with Lot streaming and A Parallel Assembly Stage

In this paper, a Job shop scheduling problem with a parallel assembly stage and Lot Streaming (LS) is considered for the first time in both machining and assembly stages. Lot Streaming technique is a process of splitting jobs into smaller sub-jobs such that successive operations can be overlapped. Hence, to solve job shop scheduling problem with a parallel assembly stage and lot streaming, deci...

Solving the Dynamic Job Shop Scheduling Problem using Bottleneck and Intelligent Agents based on Genetic Algorithm

The problem of Dynamic Job Shop (DJS) scheduling is one of the most complex problems of machine scheduling. This problem is one of NP-Hard problems for solving which numerous heuristic and metaheuristic methods have so far been presented. Genetic Algorithms (GA) are one of these methods which are successfully applied to these problems. In these approaches, of course, better quality of solutions...

Optimality of the flexible job shop scheduling system based on Gravitational Search Algorithm

The Flexible Job Shop Scheduling Problem (FJSP) is one of the most general and difficult of all traditional scheduling problems. The Flexible Job Shop Problem (FJSP) is an extension of the classical job shop scheduling problem which allows an operation to be processed by any machine from a given set. The problem is to assign each operation to a machine and to order the operations on the machine...

Three Hybrid Metaheuristic Algorithms for Stochastic Flexible Flow Shop Scheduling Problem with Preventive Maintenance and Budget Constraint

Stochastic flexible flow shop scheduling problem (SFFSSP) is one the main focus of researchers due to the complexity arises from inherent uncertainties and also the difficulty of solving such NP-hard problems. Conventionally, in such problems each machine’s job process time may encounter uncertainty due to their relevant random behaviour. In order to examine such problems more realistically, fi...
