Abstract

En 中文
Distributed flowshop group scheduling problem (DFGSP) is commonly seen in modern industry. However, research works on DFGSP with total flow time criterion are rarely reported. The DFGSP consists of three coupled sub-problems, i.e., factory assignment for each group, group sequence in each factory, and job sequence within each group. A historical information-based iterated greedy algorithm (HIG) is proposed for solving the DFGSP with the objective of minimizing total flow time. The HIG integrates an iterated greedy algorithm (IG) with a group-based insertion operator, a job-based insertion operator, a domination criterion-based swap operator, and a historical information-based constructive solution method. The domination criterion is an effective inequality, which can deterministically optimize the objective value of a partial sequence even if the scheduling sequence of subsequent jobs is unknown. In the constructive solution method, a set covering model is designed to capture the effective factory allocation patterns for the groups hidden in the historical solutions to speed up the search for the IG. The comprehensive experiments on 810 test instances demonstrate the effectiveness of HIG.
