A tabu search algorithm with a new neighborhood structure for the job shop scheduling problem

Tabu search (TS) algorithms are among the most effective approaches for solving the job shop scheduling problem (JSP) which is one of the most difficult NP-complete problems. However, neighborhood structures and move evaluation strategies play the central role in the effectiveness and efficiency of the tabu search for the JSP. In this paper, a new enhanced neighborhood structure is proposed and applied to solving the job shop scheduling problem by TS approach. Using this new neighborhood structure combined with the appropriate move evaluation strategy and parameters, we tested the TS approach on a set of standard benchmark instances and found a large number of better upper bounds among the unsolved instances. The computational results show that for the rectangular problem our approach dominates all others in terms of both solution quality and performance.

An extended Akers graphical method with a biased random‐key genetic algorithm for job‐shop scheduling

This paper presents a local search, based on a new neighborhood for the job‐shop scheduling problem, and its application within a biased random‐key genetic algorithm. Schedules are constructed by decoding the chromosome supplied by the genetic algorithm with a procedure that generates active schedules. After an initial schedule is obtained, a local search heuristic, based on an extension of the 1956 graphical method of Akers, is applied to improve the solution. The new heuristic is tested on a set of 205 standard instances taken from the job‐shop scheduling literature and compared with results obtained by other approaches. The new algorithm improved the best‐known solution values for 57 instances.     

A hybrid variable neighborhood search for solving the hybrid flow shop scheduling problem

This paper proposes a hybrid variable neighborhood search (HVNS) algorithm that combines the chemical-reaction optimization (CRO) and the estimation of distribution (EDA), for solving the hybrid flow shop (HFS) scheduling problems. The objective is to minimize the maximum completion time. In the proposed algorithm, a well-designed decoding mechanism is presented to schedule jobs with more flexibility. Meanwhile, considering the problem structure, eight neighborhood structures are developed. A kinetic energy sensitive neighborhood change approach is proposed to extract global information and avoid being stuck at the local optima. In addition, contrary to the fixed neighborhood set in traditional VNS, a dynamic neighborhood set update mechanism is utilized to exploit the potential search space. Finally, for the population of local optima solutions, an effective EDA-based global search approach is investigated to direct the search process to promising regions. The proposed algorithm is tested on sets of well-known benchmark instances. Through the analysis of experimental results, the high performance of the proposed HVNS algorithm is shown in comparison with four efficient algorithms from the literature.     

SOLVING THE OPEN SHOP SCHEDULING PROBLEM VIA A HYBRID GENETIC-VARIABLE NEIGHBORHOOD SEARCH ALGORITHM

In this article, a hybrid metaheuristic method for solving the open shop scheduling problem (OSSP) is proposed. The optimization criterion is the minimization of makespan and the solution method consists of four components: a randomized initial population generation, a heuristic solution included in the initial population acquired by a Nawaz-Enscore-Ham (NEH)-based heuristic for the flow shop scheduling problem, and two interconnected metaheuristic algorithms: a variable neighborhood search and a genetic algorithm. To our knowledge, this is the first hybrid application of genetic algorithm (GA) and variable neighborhood search (VNS) for the open shop scheduling problem. Computational experiments on benchmark data sets demonstrate that the proposed hybrid metaheuristic reaches a high quality solution in short computational times. Moreover, 12 new hard, large-scale open shop benchmark instances are proposed that simulate realistic industrial cases.     

Lateness minimization with Tabu search for job shop scheduling problem with sequence dependent setup times

We tackle the job shop scheduling problem with sequence dependent setup times and maximum lateness minimization by means of a tabu search algorithm. We start by defining a disjunctive model for this problem, which allows us to study some properties of the problem. Using these properties we define a new local search neighborhood structure, which is then incorporated into the proposed tabu search algorithm. To assess the performance of this algorithm, we present the results of an extensive experimental study, including an analysis of the tabu search algorithm under different running conditions and a comparison with the state-of-the-art algorithms. The experiments are performed across two sets of conventional benchmarks with 960 and 17 instances respectively. The results demonstrate that the proposed tabu search algorithm is superior to the state-of-the-art methods both in quality and stability. In particular, our algorithm establishes new best solutions for 817 of the 960 instances of the first set and reaches the best known solutions in 16 of the 17 instances of the second set.     

A GA/TS algorithm for the stage shop scheduling problem

This paper presents a special case of the general shop called stage shop problem. The stage shop is a more realistic generalization of the mixed shop problem. In the stage shop problem, each job has several stages of operations. In order to solve the stage shop problem with makespan objective function, an existing neighborhood of job shop is used. In this neighborhood, few enhanced conditions are proposed to prevent cycle generation. In addition, a new neighborhood for operations that belong to the same job is presented. These neighborhoods are applied to the stage shop problem in a tabu search framework. A genetic algorithm is used to obtain good initial solutions. An existing lower bound of the job shop is adapted to our problem and the computational results have been compared to it. Our algorithm has reached the optimal solutions for more than half of the problem instances.

Scheduling jobs with ready times and precedence constraints on parallel batch machines using metaheuristics

In this paper, we discuss a scheduling problem for parallel batch machines where the jobs have ready times. Problems of this type can be found in semiconductor wafer fabrication facilities (wafer fabs). In addition, we consider precedence constraints among the jobs. Such constraints arise, for example, in scheduling subproblems of the shifting bottleneck heuristic when complex job shop scheduling problems are tackled. We use the total weighted tardiness as the performance measure to be optimized. Hence, the problem is NP-hard and we have to rely on heuristic solution approaches. We consider a variable neighborhood search (VNS) scheme and a greedy randomized adaptive search procedure (GRASP) to compute efficient solutions. We assess the performance of the two metaheuristics based on a large set of randomly generated problem instances and based on instances from the literature. The obtained computational results demonstrate that VNS is a very fast heuristic that quickly leads to high-quality solutions, whereas the GRASP is slightly outperformed by the VNS approach. However, the GRASP approach has the advantage that it can be parallelized in a more natural manner compared to VNS.     

A hybrid variable neighborhood search algorithm for solving the limited-buffer permutation flow shop scheduling problem with the makespan criterion

This paper investigates the limited-buffer permutation flow shop scheduling problem (LBPFSP) with the makespan criterion. A hybrid variable neighborhood search (HVNS) algorithm hybridized with the simulated annealing algorithm is used to solve the problem. A method is also developed to decrease the computational effort needed to implement different types of local search approaches used in the HVNS algorithm. Computational results show the higher efficiency of the HVNS algorithm as compared with the state-of-the-art algorithms. In addition, the HVNS algorithm is competitive with the algorithms proposed in the literature for solving the blocking flow shop scheduling problem (i.e., LBPFSP with zero-capacity buffers), and finds 54 new upper bounds for the Taillard's benchmark instances.
