Abstract Fabric dyeing is a critical production process in the clothing industry and heavily relies on batch processing machines (BPM). In this study, the parallel BPM scheduling problem with machine eligibility in fabric dyeing is considered, and an adaptive cooperated shuffled frog-leaping algorithm (ACSFLA) is proposed to minimize makespan and total tardiness simultaneously. ACSFLA determines the search times for each memeplex based on its quality, with more searches in high-quality memeplexes. An adaptive cooperated and diversified search mechanism is applied, dynamically adjusting search strategies for each memeplex based on their dominance relationships and quality. During the… More >

Abstract Unrelated parallel machine scheduling problem (UPMSP) is a typical scheduling one and UPMSP with various real-life constraints such as additional resources has been widely studied; however, UPMSP with additional resources, maintenance, and energy-related objectives is seldom investigated. The Artificial Bee Colony (ABC) algorithm has been successfully applied to various production scheduling problems and demonstrates potential search advantages in solving UPMSP with additional resources, among other factors. In this study, an energy-efficient UPMSP with additional resources and maintenance is considered. A dynamical artificial bee colony (DABC) algorithm is presented to minimize makespan and total energy consumption… More >

Abstract Currently, energy conservation draws wide attention in industrial manufacturing systems. In recent years, many studies have aimed at saving energy consumption in the process of manufacturing and scheduling is regarded as an effective approach. This paper puts forwards a multi-objective stochastic parallel machine scheduling problem with the consideration of deteriorating and learning effects. In it, the real processing time of jobs is calculated by using their processing speed and normal processing time. To describe this problem in a mathematical way, a multi-objective stochastic programming model aiming at realizing makespan and energy consumption minimization is formulated. More >
