Simulated annealing approach to minimise total weighted tardiness of non-identical parallel batch processing machines

A Self-Adaptive Multiobjective Differential Evolution Algorithm for the Unrelated Parallel Batch Processing Machine Scheduling Problem

“…Hulett et al [40] adopted a PSO to minimize the total weighted tardiness. Kakkunuri et al [11] adopted a SA to minimize the total weighted tardiness. Zhou et al [41] and Xu [42] adopted an improved genetic algorithm (GA) to minimize the makespan, respectively.…”

“…ere have been some studies on this issue, such as Li [10] and Jia et al [1] who addressed this problem to minimize the makespan. Kakkunuri et al [11] addressed this problem to minimize the total weighted tardiness. Generally speaking, the research on this problem is still less.…”
