We propose an enhanced multi-objective harmony search (EMOHS) algorithm and a
Gaussian mutation to solve the flexible flow shop scheduling problems with sequence …

Flexible flow shop (or a hybrid flow shop) scheduling problem is an extension of classical
flow shop scheduling problem. In a simple flow shop configuration, a job having …

In today's world, a situational awareness of sustainability is becoming increasingly
important. Leaving a better world for future generations is becoming the main interest of …

Motivated by the practical scheduling problem of job shops, this study evaluates unrelated
parallel machine scheduling models. The researchers proposed a new mixed integer linear …

Flexible flow-shop scheduling problem (FFSP) is an extended special case of basic flow-
shop scheduling problem (FSP). FFSP is treated as complex NP-hard scheduling problem. A …

Nowadays, dependence of supply chain members while has provided many benefits for
organisations, increases uncertainty and risk in the planning and organising activities. The …

This paper develops particle swarm optimisation based harmony search algorithm (PSO-
HSA), a non-traditional optimisation technique to find globally optimised solutions more …

Hybrid flowshops are a special type of manufacturing systems, in which a stage may contain
identical or unrelated parallel machines. This paper deals with a more practical approach for …

A flow shop scheduling problem with setup times has been studied in a food processing
setting. This company packs cooking sauces and spices. The objective is to minimise the …

This paper studies a hybrid flow shop scheduling problem originated from a steam turbine
rotor production. Reentrance and non-anticipatory sequence-dependent setup time are …
