Abstract

This paper proposed a discrete harmony search algorithm, named DHS, for solving the no-wait flow shop scheduling problem with the objective to minimize total flowtime. Firstly, the total flowtime is shown. Secondly, a harmony is represented as a discrete job permutation and the well-known NEH method is proposed to initialize the harmony memory. Thirdly, Extensive computational experiments are carried out based on a set of well-known benchmark instances. Computational results show the effectiveness of the DHS algorithm in solving the no-wait flow shop scheduling problem.
