Abstract

A variable neighborhood based memetic algorithm (VNMA) is proposed to minimize makespan for a single batch processing machine in this paper. Random instances were generated to verify the effectiveness of VNMA. Comparisons are made through using a genetic algorithm (GA) addressed in the literature as a comparator method. Computational results demonstrate that VNMA outperformed the GA with respect to solutions quality and run times.
