Application of Flower Pollination Algorithm to Multi-objective Flowshop Sequencing and Scheduling Problems
摘要
Most of the researchers concentrated to solve single objective flowshop scheduling problems. But the real-life situation, demands more than one objective. In this article, Flower Pollination Optimization Algorithm is proposed to reduce Makespan, Total Flow Time, and Machine Idle Time combinedly with equal weight factor, so that total production amount is optimized and resource are utilized efficiently. Experimental results exhibit that Flower Pollination Optimization Algorithm is tested with various size Taillard benchmark problems.
