A hybrid harmony search algorithm for the flexible job shop scheduling problem

In this paper, a novel hybrid harmony search (HHS) algorithm based on the integrated approach, is proposed for solving the flexible job shop scheduling problem (FJSP) with the criterion to minimize makespan. First of all, to make the harmony search …

A Memetic Algorithm for the Multi-Objective Flexible Job Shop Scheduling Problem

In this paper, a new memetic algorithm (MA) is proposed for the muti-objective flexible job shop scheduling problem (MO-FJSP) with the objectives to minimize the makespan, total workload and critical workload. By using well-designed chromosome …

Flexible job shop scheduling using hybrid differential evolution algorithms

This paper proposes hybrid differential evolution (HDE) algorithms for solving the flexible job shop scheduling problem (FJSP) with the criterion to minimize the makespan. Firstly, a novel conversion mechanism is developed to make the differential …
