Obtaining an optimal solution for a permutation flowshop scheduling problem with the total
flowtime criterion in a reasonable computational timeframe using traditional approaches and …

Multi-objective optimisation problems have seen a large impulse in the last decades. Many
new techniques for solving distinct variants of multi-objective problems have been proposed …

This paper introduces a circle detection method based on differential evolution (DE)
optimization. Just as circle detection has been lately considered as a fundamental …

In this paper, we investigate the use of a continuous algorithm for the no-idle permutation
flowshop scheduling (NIPFS) problem with tardiness criterion. For this purpose, a differential …

This paper deals with the NP-hard single-machine total weighted tardiness problem with
sequence dependent setup times. Incorporating fuzzy sets and genetic operators, a novel …

This paper deals with a single machine scheduling problem where job attributes are random
variables, setup times are sequence dependent, and a scheduler utilises a cost function to …

Differential evolution (DE) has been extensively applied to continuous problems, its
mechanics naturally lending themselves to such. While some efforts have been made to …

In this paper, we propose a scatter search based meta-heuristic algorithm to solve the single
machine total weighted tardiness problem with sequence-dependent setup times. Both …

Dans plusieurs secteurs d'activités industrielles comme la sidérurgie, la métallurgie, la
pétrochimie, la papeterie, l'aéronautique, l'industrie de la céramique ou celle de …

A flexible flowshop, comprised of one or more stages having unrelated parallel machines, is
investigated in this research. Unrelated parallel machines can perform the same function but …
