Flexible job shop scheduling using genetic algorithm and heuristic rules

Job shop scheduling with the availability of more than one machine to perform an operation, also known as the flexible job shop scheduling problem, is computationally NP-hard. An efficient scheduling method is proposed here, using a genetic algorithm that incorporates heuristic rules. The scheduler&...
