Abstract:

Migrating birds optimization (MBO) is a new nature-inspired metaheuristic for combinatorial optimization problems. This paper proposes application of MBO in a flow shop sequencing problem, which has important practical applications in modern industry. FSSP is a typical NP-Hard problem (non deterministic polynomial time) which is desired to be minimum make span. As the basic MBO algorithm is designed for discrete problems. The performance of basic MBO algorithm is tested via some FSSP data sets exist in literature. A mixed neighborhood is constructed for the leader and the following birds to easily find promising neighboring solutions. Extensive comparative evaluations are conducted with recently published algorithms in the literature.

Keywords:

Scheduling, Flow shop, NP-Hard, Metaheuristic Methods, Make span.
