Multi-objective genetic algorithm and its applications to flowshop scheduling

In this paper, we propose a multi-objective genetic algorithm and apply it to flowshop scheduling. The characteristic features of our algorithm are its selection procedure and elite preserve strategy. The selection procedure in our multi-objective genetic algorithm selects individuals for a crossover operation based on a weighted sum of multiple objective functions with variable weights. The elite preserve strategy in our algorithm uses multiple elite solutions instead of a single elite solution. That is, a certain number of individuals are selected from a tentative set of Pareto optimal solutions and inherited to the next generation as elite individuals. In order to show that our approach can handle multi-objective optimization problems with concave Pareto fronts, we apply the proposed genetic algorithm to a two-objective function optimization problem with a concave Pareto front. Last, the performance of our multi-objective genetic algorithm is examined by applying it to the flowshop scheduling problem with two objectives: to minimize the makespan and to minimize the total tardiness. We also apply our algorithm to the flowshop scheduling problem with three objectives: to minimize the makespan, to minimize the total tardiness, and to minimize the total flowtime.     

Multiple-objective scheduling and real-time dispatching for the semiconductor manufacturing system

Implementing efficient scheduling and dispatching policies is a critical means to gain competitiveness for modern semiconductor manufacturing systems. In contemporary global market, a successful semiconductor manufacturer has to excel in multiple performance indices, consequently qualified scheduling approaches should provide efficient and holistic management of wafer products, information and manufacturing resources and make adaptive decisions based on real-time processing status to reach an overall optimized system performance. To cope with this challenge, a timed extended object-oriented Petri nets (EOPNs) based multiple-objective scheduling and real-time dispatching approach is proposed in this paper. Four performance objectives pursued by semiconductor manufacturers are integrated into a priority-ranking algorithm that serves as the initial scheduling guidance, and then all wafer lots will be dynamically dispatched by the hybrid real-time dispatching control system. A set of simulation experiments validate the proposed multiple-objective scheduling and real-time dispatching algorithm may achieve satisfactory performances.     

Evolutionary multi-objective blocking lot-streaming flow shop scheduling with interval processing time

A blocking lot-streaming flow shop scheduling problem with interval processing time has a wide range of applications in various industrial systems, however, not yet been well studied. In this paper, the problem is formulated as a multi-objective optimization problem, where each interval objective is converted into a real-valued one using a dynamically weighted sum of its midpoint and radius. A novel evolutionary multi-objective optimization algorithm is then proposed to solve the re-formulated multi-objective optimization problem, in which non-dominated solutions and differences among parents are taken advantage of when designing the crossover operator, and an ideal-point assisted local search strategy for multi-objective optimization is employed to improve the exploitation capability of the algorithm. To empirically evaluate the performance of the proposed algorithm, a series of comparative experiments are conducted on 24 scheduling instances. The experimental results show that the proposed algorithm outperforms the compared algorithms in convergence, and is more capable of tackling uncertainties.     

A realistic variant of bi-objective unrelated parallel machine scheduling problem: NSGA-II and MOACO approaches

The problem investigated in this study involves an unrelated parallel machine scheduling problem with sequence-dependent setup times, different release dates, machine eligibility and precedence constraints. This problem has been inspired from a realistic scheduling problem in the shipyard. The optimization criteria are to simultaneously minimize mean weighted flow time and mean weighted tardiness. To formulate this complicated problem, a new mixed-integer programming model is presented. Considering the NP-complete characteristic of this problem, two famous meta-heuristics including a non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm (NSGA-II) and a multi-objective ant colony optimization (MOACO) which is a modified and adaptive version of BicriterionAnt algorithm are developed. Obviously, the precedence constraints increase the complexity of the scheduling problem in strong sense in order to generate feasible solutions, especially in parallel machine environment. Therefore a new corrective algorithm is proposed to obtain the feasibility in all stages of the algorithms. Due to the fact that appropriate design of parameter has a significant effect on the performance of algorithms, we calibrate the parameters of these algorithms by using new approach of Taguchi method. The performances of the proposed meta-heuristics are evaluated by a number of numerical examples. The results indicated that the suggested MOACO statistically outperformed the proposed NSGA-II in solving the test problems. In addition, the application of the proposed algorithms is justified by a real block erection scheduling problem in the shipyard.     

A bi-objective possibilistic programming model for open shop scheduling problems with sequence-dependent setup times, fuzzy processing times, and fuzzy due dates

We are concerned with an open shop scheduling problem having sequence-dependent setup times. A novel bi-objective possibilistic mixed-integer linear programming model is presented. Sequence-dependent setup times, fuzzy processing times and fuzzy due dates with triangular possibility distributions are the main constraints of this model. An open shop scheduling problem with these considerations is close to the real production scheduling conditions. The objective functions are to minimize total weighted tardiness and total weighted completion times. To solve small-sized instances for Pareto-optimal solutions, an interactive fuzzy multi-objective decision making (FMODM) approach, called TH method proposed by Torabi and Hassini, is applied. Using this method, an equivalent auxiliary single-objective crisp model is obtained and solved optimally by the Lingo software. For medium to large size examples, a multi-objective particle swarm optimization (MOPSO) algorithm is proposed. This algorithm consists of a decoding procedure using a permutation list to reduce the search area in the solution space. Also, a local search algorithm is applied to generate good initial particle positions. Finally, to evaluate the effectiveness of the MOPSO algorithm, the results are compared with the ones obtained by the well-known SPEA-II, using design of experiments (DOE) based on some performance metrics.

Two new meta-heuristics for a bi-objective supply chain scheduling problem in flow-shop environment

In this study, an integrated multi-objective production-distribution flow-shop scheduling problem will be taken into consideration with respect to two objective functions. The first objective function aims to minimize total weighted tardiness and make-span and the second objective function aims to minimize the summation of total weighted earliness, total weighted number of tardy jobs, inventory costs and total delivery costs. Firstly, a mathematical model is proposed for this problem. After that, two new meta-heuristic algorithms are developed in order to solve the problem. The first algorithm (HCMOPSO), is a multi-objective particle swarm optimization combined with a heuristic mutation operator, Gaussian membership function and a chaotic sequence and the second algorithm (HBNSGA-II), is a non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm II with a heuristic criterion for generation of initial population and a heuristic crossover operator. The proposed HCMOPSO and HBNSGA-II are tested and compared with a Non-dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm II (NSGA-II), a Multi-Objective Particle Swarm Optimization (MOPSO) and two state-of-the-art algorithms from recent researches, by means of several comparing criteria. The computational experiments demonstrate the outperformance of the proposed HCMOPSO and HBNSGA-II.     

A heuristic algorithm to minimize total weighted tardiness on a single machine with release times

This paper attempts to solve a single machine‐scheduling problem, in which the objective function is to minimize the total weighted tardiness with different release dates of jobs. To address this scheduling problem, a heuristic scheduling algorithm is presented. A mathematical programming formulation is also formulated to validate the performance of the heuristic scheduling algorithm proposed herein. Experimental results show that the proposed heuristic algorithm can solve this problem rapidly and accurately. Overall, this algorithm can find the optimal solutions for 2200 out of 2400 randomly generated problems (91.67%). For the most complicated 20 job cases, it requires less than 0.0016 s to obtain an ultimate or even optimal solution. This heuristic scheduling algorithm can therefore efficiently solve this kind of problem.     

A problem space genetic algorithm in multiobjective optimization

In this study, a problem space genetic algorithm (PSGA) is used to solve bicriteria tool management and scheduling problems simultaneously in flexible manufacturing systems. The PSGA is used to generate approximately efficient solutions minimizing both the manufacturing cost and total weighted tardiness. This is the first implementation of PSGA to solve a multiobjective optimization problem (MOP). In multiobjective search, the key issues are guiding the search towards the global Pareto-optimal set and maintaining diversity. A new fitness assignment method, which is used in PSGA, is proposed to find a well-diversified, uniformly distributed set of solutions that are close to the global Pareto set. The proposed fitness assignment method is a combination of a nondominated sorting based method which is most commonly used in multiobjective optimization literature and aggregation of objectives method which is popular in the operations research literature. The quality of the Pareto-optimal set is evaluated by using the performance measures developed for multiobjective optimization problems.
