Abstract

Most studies in flow shop scheduling neglect the setup times or consider the setup times along with the processing times. However, in industries that manufacture paint, textiles, ceramic tiles, etc., the setup times are significant and are sequence dependent. This paper addresses the problem of scheduling a flow shop operating in a sequence-dependent setup time (SDST) environment considering the objectives, namely minimisation of makespan and mean tardiness. The evolutionary method of discrete particle swarm optimisation (DPSO) based on weighted approach is developed and applied to SDST benchmark problems of flow shop scheduling. The efficacy of the metaheuristic is compared with that of a hybrid genetic algorithm, and it is observed that on an average, the proposed DPSO provides an improvement of 7.8, 22.3 and 11.3% in the values of mean ideal distance, computational time and diversification matrix, respectively. For most problems, the proposed DPSO performs superior to the hybrid genetic algorithm.
