Flexible job shop scheduling problem (FJSP) is a very important problem in the modern manufacturing system. It is an extension of the classical job shop scheduling problem. Because of the importance of FJSP and the multiple objectives requirement from the real-world production, this research focuses on the multi-objective FJSP. This paper proposes a collaborative evolutionary algorithm (CEA) based on Pareto optimality to solve the multi-objective FJSP. Experimental studies have been used to test the approach. And the experimental results show that the proposed approach is a promising and very effective method on the research of multiobjective FJSP.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
