Description
Summary:This paper deals with the problem of two-stage assembly flow shop scheduling with considering sequence-independent setup times .The objective is to minimize totalcompletion times of all orders. In this problem, there are several orders for one type of product. Each ordered product is formed of several different parts. At first, the parts are manufactured in a flow shop stage with some different machines and then they are assembled into a final product on a single machine. This paper presents three meta-heuristic algorithms, namely Parallel Variable Neighborhood Search (PVN) Artificial Immune Algorithm (AIA) and Simulated Annealing (SA), for solving under studied problem. The Taguchi experimental design method as an optimization technique is employed to tune different parameters and operators of presented algorithms. Also, Numerical experiments are used to evaluate the performance of the proposed algorithms. The results show that the PVNS algorithm performs better than the other algorithms
