Abstract

This paper addresses a multi-objective no-wait permutation Flowshop scheduling problem. In this problem, a job must be processed, from start to finish, without any interruption between machines. The jobs have processing times that are influenced by a speed factor inversely proportional to the energy consumption of the machines. The objective of the problem is to determine the job sequencing and the speed level to execute them, in such a way that two objectives are simultaneously minimized: the total energy consumption of the machines and the total tardiness in relation to the due dates of the jobs. Motivated by the computational complexity of the problem, a multi-objective heuristic based on the Iterated Local Search (ILS) meta-heuristic is proposed. To test the efficiency of the ILS heuristic, a set of 110 instances from the literature is used. The performance of the proposed heuristic is evaluated by comparing it with results from other heuristics available in the literature.
