job shop scheduling is one of the most difficult NP-hard combinatorial optimize problems, in order to solve this problem, an improved Genetic Algorithm with three- dimensional coded model was put forward in this paper. In this model, the gene was coded with 3-D space, and self-adapting plot was drawn into conventional GA, then the probability of crossover and mutation can automatic adjust by fit degree. The instance shows that this algorithmic is effective to solve job shop scheduling problem.

This paper presents an improved genetic algorithm for the job shop scheduling problem. We designed a new encoding method based on operation order matrix, a matrix correspond to a chromosome, the value of elements is not repetitive, that means a processing order number in all operations of all jobs. Aiming at the features of the matrix encoding, we designed the crossover and mutation methods based on jobs, and the infeasible solutions are avoided. Through adjusting the computing method of fitness value, the improved genetic algorithm takes on some self adapting capability. The proposed approach is tested on some standard instances and compared with two other approaches. The computation results validate the algorithm is efficient.
