In this paper, a multi-objective flexible job shop scheduling problem (MOFJSP) was studied systematically. A novel energy-saving scheduling model was established based on considering makespan and total energy consumption simultaneously. Different from previous studies, four types of energy consumption were considered in this model, including processing energy, idle energy, transport energy, and turn-on/off energy. In addition, a turn-off strategy is adopted for energy-saving. A modified shuffled frog-leaping algorithm (SFLA) was applied to solve this model. Moreover, operators of multi-point crossover and neighborhood search were both employed to obtain optimal solutions. Experiments were conducted to verify the performance of the SFLA compared with a non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm with blood variation (BVNSGA-II). The results show that this algorithm and strategy are very effective.
