Research on Improved Genetic Algorithm Solving Flexible Job-Shop Problem

Article Preview

Abstract:

Based on the analyzing of the characteristic of the flexible job-shop scheduling problem (FJSP), we proposed an improved genetic algorithm. To consider the max finish-time, total delay-time, keeping workload balance among the machines, a new selection operator is proposed, which combines random method, proportion-based selection method with elitist retention policy. The improved genetic algorithm using the proposed selection operator is tested on some standard instances. The experimental results validate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.
