Developing dispatching rules for manufacturing systems is a tedious process, which is time- and cost-consuming. Since there is no good general rule for different scenarios and ob...
The proportionate flow shop (PFS) is considered as a unique case of the flow shop problem in which the processing times of the operations belonging to the same job are equal. A pr...
When using a constructive search algorithm, solutions to scheduling problems such as the job shop and open shop scheduling problems are typically represented as permutations of the...
Abstract. This paper describes a memory enhanced evolutionary algorithm (EA) approach to the dynamic job shop scheduling problem. Memory enhanced EAs have been widely investigated ...
We study the “inter-distance constraint”, also known as the global minimum distance constraint, that ensures that the distance between any pair of variables is at least equal ...
