In the present work, SDST flow shop scheduling with minimizing the weighted sum of total weighted tardiness and makespan have been considered simultaneously. Four modified heuristic have been proposed for preliminary viable sequence. Sequence obtained from the modified heuristics is combined with the initial seed sequence of genetic algorithm and called as Genetic Algorithm (GA). Hence four dif...

This paper proposes a hybridized simheuristic approach that couples greedy randomized adaptive search procedure (GRASP), Monte Carlo simulation, Pareto archived evolution strategy (PAES), and an analytic hierarchy process (AHP), in order to solve multicriteria stochastic permutation flow shop problem with processing times sequence-dependent setup times. For the decisional criteria, proposed con...

One of the earliest results in flow shop scheduling theory is an algorithm given by Johnson’s [1] for scheduling jobs on two or three machines to minimize the total elapsed time whenever the processing times of jobs are random. The present paper is an attempt to develop a heuristic algorithm for two stages specially structured flow shop scheduling in which the processing times of the jobs a...

This paper presents a bi-objective MIP model for the flexible flow shop scheduling  problem (FFSP) in which the total weighted tardiness and the energy consumption are minimized simultaneously. In addition to considering unrelated machines at each stage, the set-up times are supposed to be sequence- and machine-dependent, and it is assumed that jobs have different release tim...

In a shop floor of the industry, the routings which are based upon the jobs that need to be processed on different machines are one among the major activities and therefore the resource requirements are not based upon the quantity as in a flow shop but rather the routings for the products being produced. However, both job shop and flow shop production cope with a scheduling problem to find a fe...

Scheduling problems should not only focus on minimizing completion time, but other performances, such as energy consumption, are urgent to investigate. Many companies and researchers competing develop various methods solve this problem. One problem that has received much attention lately is the energy-efficient Hybrid Flow Shop Problem (HFSP). The HFSP also popularly called flexible flow shop T...

Flexible Job Shop Problem (FJSP) is an extension of classical Job Shop Problem (JSP). The FJSP extends the routing flexibility of the JSP, i.e assigning machine to an operation. Thus it makes it more difficult than the JSP. In this study, Cooperative Coevolutionary Genetic Algorithm (CCGA) is presented to solve the FJSP. Makespan (time needed to complete all jobs) is used as the performance eva...
