摘要
In this paper, a discrete harmony search algorithm (DHS) is developed for solving the no-wait flow shop scheduling problem with the objective to minimize total flowtime. Firstly, a harmony is represented as a discrete job permutation, and a new heuristic based on the well-known NEH method is proposed to initialize the harmony memory. Secondly, a novel pitch adjustment rule is employed in the improvisation to produce a new harmony. Thirdly, a local search is presented and embedded to enhance the algorithm's local exploitation ability. Extensive computational experiments are carried out based on a set of well-known benchmark instances. Computational results and comparison show the effectiveness of the presented DHS algorithm in solving the no-wait flow shop scheduling with total flowtime criterion.
