Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
The distributed permutation flowshop scheduling problem (DPFSP) is a newly proposed topic in the shop scheduling field, which has important application in globalised and multi-plant environments. This study presents a modified iterated greedy (MIG) algorithm for this problem to minimise the maximum completion time among all the factories. Compared with previous approaches, the proposed algorithm is simpler yet more effective, more efficient, and more robust in solving the DPFSP. To validate the performance of the proposed MIG algorithm, computational experiments and comparisons are conducted on an extended benchmark problem set of Taillard. Despite its simplicity, the computational results show that the proposed MIG algorithm outperforms all existing algorithms, and the best-known solutions for almost half of instances are updated. This study can be offered as a contribution to the growing body of work on both theoretically and practically useful approaches to the DPFSP.
