Partheno-Genetic Algorithm for the Permutation Flowshop Scheduling Problem with Maximum Waiting Times

Article Preview

Abstract:

A permutation flowshop scheduling problem with maximum waiting time constraints to minimize makespan is studied, and a partheno-genetic algorithm (PGA) is presented. In PGA, the fitness function is defined as a decreasing function of makespan to enhance the selected opportunity of good individuals; the roulette algorithm for chromosome selection is improved to keep population diversity with high quality by three strategies: optimal maintenance, fitness adjustment and roulette reconstruction; single-point gene exchange operators are applied to generate offspring. Numerical results demonstrated the feasibility and effectiveness of the algorithm.
