Data Processing with a Genetic Algorithm for Flow Line Processing Scheduling Problem

Article Preview

Abstract:

The scheduling optimization of the flow line is a core of modern managing technology and Data Processing. The goal of the problem is to minimize the sum of the total flow time. Aiming at machine scheduling of production process, this paper presents a genetic algorithm based heuristic for the problem. An encoding method based working procedure and parthenogenetic operations are applied to solve the flow line scheduling problem. The computational results indicate that the proposed approach is effective in terms of reduced makespan for the attempted problems.
