Single Objective Evolutionary Algorithm for Job Shop Scheduling Problem

G. Uma Sankar, Dr. D. Saravanan

Abstract

we discuss approaches to developing single objective evolutionary algorithm for solving the job shop scheduling problem. Initial population is generated randomly. Two-row chromosome structure is adopted based on working procedure and machine distribution. The relevant crossover and mutation operation is also designed. It jumped from the local optimal solution, and the search area of solution is improved. Finally, the algorithm is tested on instances of 8 working procedure and 5 machines. The result shows that the evolutionary algorithm has been successfully applied to the job shop scheduling problems efficiency.
