The objective is to minimize the makespan, i.e., the maximum completion time of all jobs. We first show the problem is NP-hard in the strong sense, then we present two heuristics to solve the problem. Computational experiments show that the combined algorithm of the two heuristics performs well on randomly generated problem instances.展开更多

First, the problem is classified as per different measures of performance, viz., minimization of makespan, minimization of sum of completion times of jobs, minimization of sum of weighted completion times of all jobs, minimization of total tardiness of all jobs, minimization of sum of weighted tardiness of all jobs, minimization of weighted sum of tardy jobs, and miscellaneous measures of the open shop scheduling problem. In each category, the literature is further classified based on approaches used and then the contributions of researchers in the respective categories are presented. Directions for future research are discussed in the end.展开更多

Each stage has one and more identical sorting machines. The sorting machines scheduling problem can be treated as a four-stage multiprocessor open shop problem with dynamic job release, and the objective is minimizing the makespan in the paper. This problem is formulated into a mixed integer programming (MIP) model and empirically shows its computational intractability. Due to the computational intractability, a particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm is proposed. A series of computational experiments are conducted to evaluate the performance of the proposed PSO in comparison with exact solution on various small-size problem instances. The results show that the PSO algorithm could finds most optimal or better solutions in one second.展开更多
