Minimising Total Flow Time in Permutation Flow Shop Scheduling using a Simulated Annealing-based Approach

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

This paper presents an efficient simulated annealing algorithm for minimising the total flow time in n-job, m-machine permutation flow shop scheduling problems. Empirical results demonstrate that the proposed approach is competitive with the best three methods in the flow shop literature. Statistical tests of significance are used to validate the improvement in solution quality.
