Parallel machine shop scheduling problem can be stated as finding a schedule for a general task graph to execute on a customed flow so that the schedule length can be minimized. Parallel Flow Shop Scheduling with a case study has been . In this study we present an effective memetic algorithm to solve the problem. Also evaluating the performance of two algorithms (genetic algorithm and memetic algorithm) in terms of both the quality of the solutions produced and the efficiency. These results demonstrate that the memetic algorithm produces better and quality solutions and hence it is very efficient . KEY WORDS: Hybrid Flow Shop Scheduling, Multiprocessor, Memetic algorithm.

Purpose Hybrid flow shop with multiprocessor task (HFSMT) has received considerable attention in recent years. The purpose of this paper is to consider an HFSMT scheduling under the environment of a common time window. The window size and location are considered to be given parameters. The research deals with the criterion of total penalty cost minimization incurred by earliness and tardiness of jobs. In this research, a new memetic algorithm in which a global search algorithm is accompanied with the local search mechanism is developed to solve the HFSMT with jobs having a common time window. The operating parameters of memetic algorithm have an important role on the quality of solution. In this paper, a full factorial experimental design is used to determining the best parameters of memetic algorithm for each problem type. Memetic algorithm is tested using HFSMT problems. Design/methodology/approach First, hybrid flow shop scheduling system and hybrid flow shop scheduling with multiprocessor task are defined. The applications of the hybrid flow shop system are explained. Also the background of hybrid flow shop with multiprocessor is given in the introduction. The features of the proposed memetic algorithm are described in Section 2. The experiment results are presented in Section 3. Findings Computational experiments show that the proposed new memetic algorithm is an effective and efficient approach for solving the HFSMT under the environment of a common time window. Originality/value There is only one study about HFSMT scheduling with time window. This is the first study which added the windows to the jobs in HFSMT problems.

AbstractDistributed hybrid flow shop scheduling problem (DHFSP) has attracted some attention; however, DHFSP with uncertainty and energy-related element is seldom studied. In this paper, distributed energy-efficient hybrid flow shop scheduling problem (DEHFSP) with fuzzy processing time is considered and a cooperated shuffled frog-leaping algorithm (CSFLA) is presented to optimize fuzzy makespan, total agreement index and fuzzy total energy consumption simultaneously. Iterated greedy, variable neighborhood search and global search are designed using problem-related features; memeplex evaluation based on three quality indices is presented, an effective cooperation process between the best memeplex and the worst memeplex is developed according to evaluation results and performed by exchanging search times and search ability, and an adaptive population shuffling is adopted to improve search efficiency. Extensive experiments are conducted and the computational results validate that CSFLA has promising advantages on solving the considered DEHFSP.
