有准备时间无等待流水车间调度的搜索算法

利用迭代变化邻域搜索算法(IVNS)求解最小化总完工时间的有准备时间无等待流水车间调度问题. 设计局部搜索算法需要考虑3个关键因素：所用邻域、解评估和局部最优的克服. 因此,定义了3个较大规模邻域以扩大搜索范围. 为加速解评估,利用目标增量来避免重新计算每个解的目标函数值,使相邻解比较只需常量时间,NEH插入算法的时间复杂度降低一阶. IVNS通过切换邻域和扰动重启,来克服局部搜索易于陷入局部最优解的缺点. 通过与求解该问题的当前最好算法在5400个标准算上,以相同CPU时间进行的实算比较,实验结果统计分析验证了IVNS的寻优性能明显优于参照算法.

Hybrid monkey search algorithm for flow shop scheduling problem under makespan and total flow time

This paper addresses a sub-population based hybrid monkey search algorithm to solve the flow shop scheduling problem which has been proved to be non-deterministic polynomial time hard (NP-hard) type combinatorial optimization problems. Minimization of makespan and total flow time are the objective functions considered. In the proposed algorithm, two different sub-populations for the two objectives are generated and different dispatching rules are used to improve the solution quality. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first application of monkey search algorithm to solve the flow shop scheduling problems. The performance of the proposed algorithm has been tested with the benchmark problems addressed in the literature. Computational results reveal that the proposed algorithm outperforms many other heuristics and meta-heuristics addressed in the literature.     

Performance analysis of rotation schedule and improved strategy for open shop problem to minimise makespan

This article addresses the open shop scheduling problem with the objective to minimise the maximum completion time, or makespan. Both asymptotical analysis and worst case analysis are conducted for the heuristic, rotation schedule (RS) algorithm. In the asymptotical analysis, we prove that the RS algorithm is asymptotically equal to the optimal solution when the problem size is large enough. In the worst case analysis, we show that the tight worst case performance ratio of RS algorithm is equal to the machine number m. To accelerate the convergence of the RS algorithm for medium size problems, the improved version of the heuristic, the modified RS (MRS) algorithm is presented. At the end of this article, the asymptotical optimality of the RS algorithm and the practical effectiveness of the MRS algorithm are shown by numerical simulations.     

Minimizing makespan in a two-stage system with flowshop and open shop

This paper studies two models of two-stage processing with flowshop at the first stage followed by open shop at the second stage. The first model involves multiple machines at the first stage and two machines at the second stage, and the other involves multiple machines at both stages. In both models, the objective is to minimize the makespan. This problem is NP-complete, for which an efficient heuristic solution algorithm is constructed and its worst-case performance guarantee is analyzed for both models. An integer programming model and a branch and bound algorithm are proposed for model 1 and a lower bound is developed for model 2 as benchmarks for the heuristic algorithms. Computational experiences show that the heuristic algorithms consistently generate good schedule and the branch and bound algorithm is much efficient than the integer-programming model.

Minimizing total completion time for re-entrant flow shop scheduling problems

In this paper, we study re-entrant flow shop scheduling problems with the objective of minimizing total completion time. In a re-entrant scheduling problem, jobs may visit some machines more than once for processing. The problem is NP-hard even for machine number m=2. A heuristic algorithm is presented to solve the problem, in which an effective k-insertion technique is introduced as the improvement strategy in iterations. Computational experiments and analyses are performed to give guidelines of choosing parameters in the algorithm. We also provide a lower bound for the total completion time of the optimal solution when there are only two machines. Objective function values of the heuristic solutions are compared with the lower bounds to evaluate the efficiency of the algorithm. For randomly generated instances, the results show that the given heuristic algorithm generates solutions with total completion times within 1.2 times of the lower bounds in most of the cases.     

Efficient heuristic algorithms for the blocking flow shop scheduling problem with total flow time minimization

This paper proposes two constructive heuristics, i.e. HPF1 and HPF2, for the blocking flow shop problem in order to minimize the total flow time. They differ mainly in the criterion used to select the first job in the sequence since, as it is shown, its contribution to the total flow time is not negligible. Both procedures were combined with the insertion phase of NEH to improve the sequence. However, as the insertion procedure does not always improve the solution, in the resulting heuristics, named NHPF1 and NHPF2, the sequence was evaluated before and after the insertion to keep the best of both solutions. The structure of these heuristics was used in Greedy Randomized Adaptive Search Procedures (GRASP) with variable neighborhood search in the improvement phase to generate greedy randomized solutions. The performance of the constructive heuristics and of the proposed GRASPs was evaluated against other heuristics from the literature. Our computational analysis showed that the presented heuristics are very competitive and able to improve 68 out of 120 best known solutions of Taillard’s instances for the blocking flow shop scheduling problem with the total flow time criterion.     

An improved heuristic to minimize total flow time for scheduling in the m-machine no-wait flow shop

In this paper, we present a constructive heuristic to minimize total flow time criterion for the well-known NP-hard no-wait flow shop scheduling problem. It is based on the assumption that the priority of a job in the initial sequence is given by the sum of its processing times on the bottleneck machines. The initial sequence of jobs thus generated is further improved using a new job insertion technique. We show, through computational experimentation, that the proposed method significantly outperforms the best-known heuristics while retaining its time complexity of O(n²). Statistical tests of significance are used to confirm the improvement in solution quality.     

A DP algorithm for minimizing makespan and total completion time on a series-batching machine

This paper studies a bicriteria scheduling problem on a series-batching machine with objective of minimizing makespan and total completion time simultaneously. A series-batching machine is a machine that can handle up to b jobs in a batch and the completion time of all jobs in a batch is equal to the finishing time of the last job in the batch and the processing time of a batch is the sum of the processing times of jobs in the batch. In addition, there is a constant setup time s for each batch. For the problem we can find all Pareto optimal solutions in O(n²) time by a dynamic programming algorithm, where n denotes the number of jobs.

Minimizing makespan for flow shop scheduling problem with intermediate buffers by using hybrid approach of artificial immune system

In this study, three new meta-heuristic algorithms artificial immune system (AIS), iterated greedy algorithm (IG) and a hybrid approach of artificial immune system (AIS-IG) are proposed to minimize maximum completion time (makespan) for the permutation flow shop scheduling problem with the limited buffers between consecutive machines. As known, this category of scheduling problem has wide application in the manufacturing and has attracted much attention in academic fields. Different from basic artificial immune systems, the proposed AIS-IG algorithm is combined with destruction and construction phases of iterated greedy algorithm to improve the local search ability. The performances of these three approaches were evaluated over Taillard, Carlier and Reeves benchmark problems. It is shown that the AIS-IG and AIS algorithms not only generate better solutions than all of the well-known meta heuristic approaches but also can maintain their quality for large scale problems.
