The global energy demand increases, giving rise to concerns about fuel scarcity and
environmental damage. In addition, world energy consumption rises as a result of …

The energy crisis has become one of the most pressing environmental problems facing the
world today [1]. The over-exploitation of non-renewable natural resources has led to its …

The energy crisis has become an environmental problem, and this has received much
attention from researchers. The manufacturing sector is the most significant contributor to …

Cost is the foremost factor in decision-making for profit-driven organizations. However,
hybrid flow shop scheduling (HFSS) research rarely prioritizes cost as its optimization …

Hybrid flow shop with energy consumption (HFS-EC) combine the flow shop scheduling and
parallel machine scheduling problem with the aim to optimize energy utilization, besides …

This paper investigates the multistage hybrid flow shop (HFS) scheduling problems using
the new bat algorithm. A HFS is the generalisation of flowshop with multiple machines. HFS …

This paper addresses the multistage hybrid flow shop (HFS) scheduling problems. The HFS
is the special case of flowshop problem. Multiple parallel machines are considered in each …

Hybrid flow shop scheduling problem (HFSP) has been extensively discussed and the main
objectives are related to completion time. The reduction of energy consumption should be …

Hybrid flow shops (HFS) are common manufacturing environments in many industries, such
as the glass, steel, paper and textile industries. In this paper, we present a particle swarm …

In the last years, a set of bio-inspired metaheuristics has proved their efficiencies in
combinational and continues optimization areas. This paper intends to hybrid a discrete …
