Effective Design of the Simulated Annealing Algorithm for the Flowshop Problem with Minimum Makespan Criterion

In this paper we address the n-job, m-machine flowshop scheduling problem with minimum completion time (makespan) as the performance criterion. We describe an efficient design of the Simulated Annealing algorithm for solving approximately this NP-hard problem. The main difficulty in implementing th...
