A hybrid algorithm to minimize makespan for the permutation flow shop scheduling problem

This paper deals with the permutation flow shop scheduling problem. The objective is to minimize the maximum completion time, or makespan. To solve this problem which has been proved to be strongly NP-hard, a combination between an ant colony algorithm, a heuristic algorithm and a local search proce...
