We present an approximation method for the hybrid flow shop scheduling problem based on relaxation and machine learning … exact solutions, which is generally not feasible for NP-hard problems such as hybrid flow shop scheduling. In terms of …

a constraint-free mathematical presentation for this problem. We explore performance measures of makespan and total … lower bounds as well as nine efficient heuristics for solving the problem with the objective of minimizing makespan. The …

We consider a natural generalization of classical scheduling problems to a setting in which using a time unit for … scheduling cost. We focus on preemptive single-machine scheduling and two classical scheduling cost functions, the sum of … (weighted) completion times and the maximum completion time, that is, the makespan. While these problems are easy to solve in …

Flexible flow shop (or a hybrid flow shop) scheduling problem is an extension of classical flow shop scheduling problem … flow shop and parallel machine scheduling problems is a well-known NP-hard (Non-deterministic polynomial time) problem … calculate makespan and computational time. It is found that the rate of convergence of TLBO is superior to JAYA. From the …

Findings …/value: This paper sets out to review current literature, from an advanced production scheduling perspective, and contributes a set …

In this paper, teaching-learning-based optimization (TLBO) is proposed to solve flexible job shop scheduling problem … (FJSP) based on the integrated approach with an objective to minimize makespan. An FJSP is an extension of basic job …-shop scheduling problem. There are two sub problems in FJSP. They are routing problem and sequencing problem. If both the sub problems …

This paper considers a three-stage assembly flowshop scheduling problem with sequence-dependent setup times at the … first stage and blocking times between each stage in such a way that the weighted mean completion time and makespan are …

We consider an open shop scheduling problem with setup and processing times separately such that not only the setup … machine. A novel bi-objective mathematical programming is designed in order to minimize the total tardiness and the makespan …
