Hybrid algorithm based on improved extended shifting bottleneck procedure and GA for assembly job shop scheduling problem

With the makespan as the optimisation goal, we propose a hybrid solving method that combines improved extended shifting bottleneck procedure (i-ESB) and genetic algorithm (GA) for the assembly job shop scheduling problem (AJSSP). Hybrid genetic algorithm (HGA) uses a GA based on operation constraint chain coding to achieve global search and a local search based on an i-ESB. In the design of i-ESB, an extended disjunctive graph model (EDG) corresponding to AJSSP is presented. The calculation method of the operation head and tail length based on EDG is studied, as well as the searching method of key operations. The Schrage algorithm with disturbance is used to solve the single-machine scheduling subproblem. The selection criterion for bottleneck machines is increased. A greedy bottleneck machine re-optimisation process is designed. The effectiveness and superiority of the proposed algorithm are verified by testing and analysing the relevant examples in the literature.

Cultural algorithms,an alternative heuristic to solve the job shop scheduling problem

In this work, an approach for solving the job shop scheduling problem using a cultural algorithm is proposed. Cultural algorithms are evolutionary computation methods that extract domain knowledge during the evolutionary process. Additional to this extracted knowledge, the proposed approach also uses domain knowledge given a priori (based on specific domain knowledge available for the job shop scheduling problem). The proposed approach is compared with respect to a Greedy Randomized Adaptive Search Procedure (GRASP), a Parallel GRASP, a Genetic Algorithm, a Hybrid Genetic Algorithm, and a deterministic method called shifting bottleneck. The cultural algorithm proposed in this article is able to produce competitive results with respect to the two approaches previously indicated at a significantly lower computational cost than at least one of them and without using any sort of parallel processing.

A hybrid differential evolution and estimation of distribution algorithm based on neighbourhood search for job shop scheduling problems

Job shop scheduling problem (JSSP) is a typical NP-hard problem. In order to improve the solving efficiency for JSSP, a hybrid differential evolution and estimation of distribution algorithm based on neighbourhood search is proposed in this paper, which combines the merits of Estimation of distribution algorithm and Differential evolution (DE). Meanwhile, to strengthen the searching ability of the proposed algorithm, a chaotic strategy is introduced to update the parameters of DE. Two mutation operators are adopted. A neighbourhood search (NS) algorithm based on blocks on critical path is used to further improve the solution quality. Finally, the parametric sensitivity of the proposed algorithm has been analysed based on the Taguchi method of design of experiment. The proposed algorithm was tested through a set of typical benchmark problems of JSSP. The results demonstrated the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm for solving JSSP.     

A knowledge-guided fruit fly optimization algorithm for dual resource constrained flexible job-shop scheduling problem

Different from the classical job shop scheduling, the dual-resource constrained flexible job-shop scheduling problem (DRCFJSP) should deal with job sequence, machine assignment and worker assignment all together. In this paper, a knowledge-guided fruit fly optimisation algorithm (KGFOA) with a new encoding scheme is proposed to solve the DRCFJSP with makespan minimisation criterion. In the KGFOA, two types of permutation-based search operators are used to perform the smell-based search for job sequence and resource (machine and worker) assignment, respectively. To enhance the search capability, a knowledge-guided search stage is incorporated into the KGFOA with two new search operators particularly designed for adjusting the operation sequence and the resource assignment, respectively. Due to the combination of the knowledge-guided search and the smell-based search, global exploration and local exploitation can be balanced. Besides, the effect of parameter setting of the KGFOA is investigated and numerical tests are carried out using two sets of instances. The comparative results show that the KGFOA is more effective than the existing algorithms in solving the DRCFJSP.     

Improved evolutionary algorithm for parallel batch processing machine scheduling in additive manufacturing

With the increasing prosperity of additive manufacturing, the 3D-printing shop scheduling problem has presented growing importance. The scheduling of such a shop is imperative for saving time and cost, but the problem is hard to solve, especially for simultaneous multi-part assignment and placement. This paper develops an improved evolutionary algorithm for application to additive manufacturing, by combining a genetic algorithm with a heuristic placement strategy to take into account the allocation and placement of parts integrally. The algorithm is designed also to enhance the optimisation efficiency by introducing an initialisation method based on the characteristics of the 3D printing process through the development of corresponding time calculation model. Experiments show that the developed algorithm can find better solutions compared with state-of-the-art algorithms such as simple genetic algorithm, particle swarm optimisation and heuristic algorithms.     

A problem space algorithm for single machine weighted tardiness problems

We propose a problem space genetic algorithm to solve single machine total weighted tardiness scheduling problems. The proposed algorithm utilizes global and time-dependent local dominance rules to improve the neighborhood structure of the search space. They are also a powerful exploitation (intensifying) tool since the global optimum is one of the local optimum solutions. Furthermore, the problem space search method significantly enhances the exploration (diversification) capability of the genetic algorithm. In summary, we can improve both solution quality and robustness over the other local search algorithms reported in the literature.     

Hybrid simulated annealing with memory: an evolution-based diversification approach

This study presents an efficient metaheuristic approach for combinatorial optimisation and scheduling problems. The hybrid algorithm proposed in this paper integrates different features of several well-known heuristics. The core component of the proposed algorithm is a simulated annealing module. This component utilises three types of memories, one long-term memory and two short-term memories. The main characteristics of the proposed metaheuristic are the use of positive (reinforcement) and negative (inhibitory) memories as well as an evolution-based diversification approach. Job shop scheduling is selected to evaluate the performance of the proposed method. Given the benchmark problem, an extended version of the proposed method is also developed and presented. The extended version has two distinct features, specifically designed for the job shop scheduling problem, that enhance the performance of the search. The first feature is a local search that partially explores alternative solutions on a critical path of any current solution. The second feature is a mechanism to resolve possible deadlocks that may occur during the search as a result of shortage in acceptable solutions. For the case of job shop scheduling, the computational results and comparison with other techniques demonstrate the superior performance of the proposed methods in the majority of cases.
