AbstractThis paper studies a single-machine multitasking scheduling problem together with two-agent consideration. The objective is to look for an optimal schedule to minimize the total tardiness of one agent subject to the total completion time of another agent has an upper bound. For this problem, a branch-and-bound method equipped with several dominant properties and a lower bound is exploited to search optimal solutions for small size jobs. Three metaheuristics, cloud simulated annealing algorithm, genetic algorithm, and simulated annealing algorithm, each with three improvement ways, are proposed to find the near-optimal solutions for large size jobs. The computational studies, experiments, are provided to evaluate the capabilities for the proposed algorithms. Finally, statistical analysis methods are applied to compare the performances of these algorithms.

Metaheuristic Optimization Algorithm

In this study we propose metaheuristic optimization algorithm, in which simulated annealing, multi agent approach with fuzzy logic are used. On the first level of solution search the multi agent approach is used, and on the second level – the simulated annealing. Two types of routing were considered: a serial and a parallel one. The multi-agent approach emphasizes flexibility rather than the optimality of solutions. On the other hand, search approaches such as simulated annealing, which focus more on the optimality of solutions.
