Abstract
Hybrid flow shop scheduling problems are encountered in many real-world manufacturing operations such as computer assembly, TFT-LCD module assembly, and solar cell manufacturing. Most research considers the scheduling problem in regard to time requirements and the steps needed to improve production efficiency. However, the increasing amount of carbon emissions worldwide is contributing to the worsening global warming problem. Many countries and international organizations have started to pay attention to this problem, even creating mechanisms to reduce carbon emissions. Furthermore, manufacturing enterprises are showing growing interest in realizing energy savings. Thus, the present research study focuses on reducing energy costs and completion time at the manufacturing-system level. This paper proposed a multi-objective mixed-integer programming for energy-efficient hybrid flow shop scheduling with lot streaming in order to minimize both the production makespan and electric power consumption. Due to a trade-off between these objectives and the computational complexity of the proposed multi-objective mixed-integer program, this study adopts the genetic algorithm (GA) to obtain approximate Pareto solutions more efficiently. In addition, a multi-objective energy efficiency scheduling algorithm is also developed to calculate the fitness values of each chromosome in GA.
