Abstract

In this article, we address the m-machine no-wait flow shop scheduling problem with sequence dependent setup times. The objective is to minimize total tardiness subject to an upper bound on makespan. Although these constraints and performance measures have all been extensively studied independently, they have never been considered together in this problem before. So, this multi-criteria approach provides more realistic solutions for complex scenarios. To solve the problem, we developed a new heuristic called IGA\documentclass[12pt]{minimal}\usepackage{amsmath}\usepackage{wasysym}\usepackage{amsfonts}\usepackage{amssymb}\usepackage{amsbsy}\usepackage{mathrsfs}\usepackage{upgreek}\setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt}\begin{document}$$IG_{A}$$\end{document}. The proposed method repeatedly performs a process of destruction and construction of an existing solution in order to improve it. The novelty of this method includes a mechanism capable of adapting the destruction intensity according to the instance size and the number of iterations, calibrating the algorithm during the search. Computational experiments indicate that IGA\documentclass[12pt]{minimal}\usepackage{amsmath}\usepackage{wasysym}\usepackage{amsfonts}\usepackage{amssymb}\usepackage{amsbsy}\usepackage{mathrsfs}\usepackage{upgreek}\setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt}\begin{document}$$IG_{A}$$\end{document} outperforms the best literature method for similar applications in overall solution quality by about 35%. Therefore, IGA\documentclass[12pt]{minimal}\usepackage{amsmath}\usepackage{wasysym}\usepackage{amsfonts}\usepackage{amssymb}\usepackage{amsbsy}\usepackage{mathrsfs}\usepackage{upgreek}\setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt}\begin{document}$$IG_{A}$$\end{document} is recommended to solve the problem.
