A variable neighborhood search for minimizing single machine weighted earliness and tardiness with common due date

Although the concept of just-in-time (JIT) production systems has been proposed for over two decades, it is still important in real-world production systems. In this paper, we consider minimizing the total weighted earliness and tardiness with a restrictive common due date in a single machine environment, which has been proved as an NP-hard problem. Due to the complexity of the problem, metaheuristics, including simulated annealing, genetic algorithm, tabu search, among others, have been proposed for searching good solutions in reasonable computation times. In this paper, we propose a hybrid metaheuristic that uses tabu search within variable neighborhood search (VNS/TS). There are several distinctive features in the VNS/TS algorithm, including different ratio of the two neighborhoods, generating five points simultaneously in a neighborhood, implementation of the B/F local search, and combination of TS with VNS. By examining the 280 benchmark problem instances, the algorithm shows an excellent performance in not only the solution quality but also the computation time. The results obtained are better than those reported previously in the literature.     

An efficient tabu search algorithm to the cell formation problem with alternative routings and machine reliability considerations

Cell formation is the first step in the design of cellular manufacturing systems. In this study, an efficient tabu search algorithm based on a similarity coefficient is proposed to solve the cell formation problem with alternative process routings and machine reliability considerations. In the proposed algorithm, good initial solutions are first generated and later on improved by a tabu search algorithm combining the mutation operator and an effective neighborhood solution searching mechanism. Computational experiences from test problems show that the proposed approach is extremely effective and efficient. When compared with the mathematical programming approach which took three hours to solve problems, the proposed algorithm is able to produce optimal solutions in less than 2 s.     

Minimizing Total Weighted Tardiness in a Generalized Job Shop

We consider a generalization of the classical job shop scheduling problem with release times, positive end–start time lags, and a general precedence graph. As objective we consider the total weighted tardiness. We use a tabu search algorithm to search for the order in which the operations are processed on each machine. Given a sequence of operations on each machine, we determine optimal starting times by solving a maximum cost flow problem. This solution is used to determine the neighborhood for our tabu search algorithm. All sequences in our neighborhood are obtained by swapping certain pairs of adjacent operations. We show that only swaps that possess a certain property can improve the current solution; if no such swap is available in the neighborhood, then the current solution is globally optimal. In the computational results we compare our method with other procedures proposed in literature. Our tabu search algorithm seems to be effective both with respect to time and solution quality. The research was carried out at the Technische Universiteit Eindhoven and the Universiteit Utrecht with support of Baan and the Future and Emerging Technologies programme of the EU under contract number IST-1999-14186 (ALCOM-FT).

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.     

A GES/TS algorithm for the job shop scheduling

The job shop scheduling problem is a difficult combinatorial optimization problem. This paper presents a hybrid algorithm which combines global equilibrium search, path relinking and tabu search to solve the job shop scheduling problem. The proposed algorithm used biased random sampling to have a better covering of the solution space. In addition, a new version of N6 neighborhood is applied in a tabu search framework. In order to evaluate the algorithm, comprehensive tests are applied to it using various standard benchmark sets. Computational results confirm the effectiveness of the algorithm and its high speed. Besides, 19 new upper bounds among the unsolved problems are found.     

Parallel machine total tardiness scheduling with a new hybrid metaheuristic approach

This work proposes a hybrid metaheuristic (HMH) approach which integrates several features from tabu search (TS), simulated annealing (SA) and variable neighbourhood search (VNS) in a new configurable scheduling algorithm. In particular, either a deterministic or a random candidate list strategy can be used to generate the neighbourhood of a solution, both a tabu list mechanism and the SA probabilistic rule can be adopted to accept solutions, and the dimension of the explored neighbourhood can be dynamically modified. The considered class of scheduling problems is characterized by a set of independent jobs to be executed on a set of parallel machines with non-zero ready times and sequence dependent setups. In particular, the NP-hard generalized parallel machine total tardiness problem (GPMTP) recently defined by Bilge et al. [A tabu search algorithm for parallel machine total tardiness problem. Computers & Operations Research 2004;31:397–414], is faced. Several alternative configurations of the HMH have been tested on the same benchmark set used by Bilge et al. The results obtained highlight the appropriateness of the proposed approach.     

A very fast TS/SA algorithm for the job shop scheduling problem

The job shop scheduling problem (JSP) is one of the most notoriously intractable NP-complete optimization problems. Over the last 10–15 years, tabu search (TS) has emerged as an effective algorithmic approach for the JSP. However, the quality of solutions found by tabu search approach depends on the initial solution. To overcome this problem and provide a robust and efficient methodology for the JSP, the heuristics search approach combining simulated annealing (SA) and TS strategy is developed. The main principle of this approach is that SA is used to find the elite solutions inside big valley (BV) so that TS can re-intensify search from the promising solutions. This hybrid algorithm is tested on the standard benchmark sets and compared with the other approaches. The computational results show that the proposed algorithm could obtain the high-quality solutions within reasonable computing times. For example, 17 new upper bounds among the unsolved problems are found in a short time.

A tabu search/path relinking algorithm to solve the job shop scheduling problem

We present an algorithm that incorporates a tabu search procedure into the framework of path relinking to generate solutions to the job shop scheduling problem (JSP). This tabu search/path relinking (TS/PR) algorithm comprises several distinguishing features, such as a specific relinking procedure to effectively construct a path linking the initiating solution and the guiding solution, and a reference solution determination mechanism based on two kinds of improvement methods. We evaluate the performance of TS/PR on almost all of the benchmark JSP instances available in the literature. The test results show that TS/PR obtains competitive results compared with state-of-the-art algorithms for JSP in the literature, demonstrating its efficacy in terms of both solution quality and computational efficiency. In particular, TS/PR is able to improve the upper bounds for 49 out of the 205 tested instances and it solves a challenging instance that has remained unsolved for over 20 years.

A tabu search heuristic for a sequence-dependent and time-dependent scheduling problem on a single machine

This paper introduces a tabu search heuristic for a production scheduling problem with sequence-dependent and time-dependent setup times on a single machine. The problem consists in scheduling a set of dependent jobs, where the transition between two jobs comprises an unrestricted setup that can be performed at any time, and a restricted setup that must be performed outside of a given time interval which repeats daily in the same position. The setup time between two jobs is thus a function of the completion time of the first job. The tabu search heuristic relies on shift and swap moves, and a surrogate objective function is used to speed-up the neighborhood evaluation. Computational experiments show that the proposed heuristic consistently finds better solutions in less computation time than a recent branch-and-cut algorithm. Furthermore, on instances where the branch-and-cut algorithm cannot find the optimal solution, the heuristic always identifies a better solution.     

An efficient approach to determine cell formation,cell layout and intracellular machine sequence in cellular manufacturing systems

Cellular manufacturing systems (CMS) are used to improve production flexibility and efficiency. They involve the identification of part families and machine cells so that intercellular movement is minimized and the utilization of the machines within a cell is maximized. Previous research has focused mainly on cell formation problems and their variants; however, only few articles have focused on more practical and complicated problems that simultaneously consider the three critical issues in the CMS-design process, i.e., cell formation, cell layout, and intracellular machine sequence. In this study, a two-stage mathematical programming model is formulated to integrate the three critical issues with the consideration of alternative process routings, operation sequences, and production volume. Next, because of the combinatorial nature of the above model, an efficient tabu search algorithm based on a generalized similarity coefficient is proposed. Computational results from test problems show that our proposed model and solution approach are both effective and efficient. When compared to the mathematical programming approach, which takes more than 112 h (LINGO) and 1139 s (CPLEX) to solve a set of ten test instances, the proposed algorithm can produce optimal solutions for the same set of test instances in less than 12 s.

Tabu search for attribute reduction in rough set theory

In this paper, we consider a memory-based heuristic of tabu search to solve the attribute reduction problem in rough set theory. The proposed method, called tabu search attribute reduction (TSAR), is a high-level TS with long-term memory. Therefore, TSAR invokes diversification and intensification search schemes besides the TS neighborhood search methodology. TSAR shows promising and competitive performance compared with some other CI tools in terms of solution qualities. Moreover, TSAR shows a superior performance in saving the computational costs.
