Minimizing the makespan and the system unavailability in parallel machine scheduling problem: a similarity-based genetic algorithm

Multi-objective optimization of parallel machine scheduling integrated with multi-resources preventive maintenance planning

“…A multi-objective ant colony optimization approach is proposed. Moradi and Zandieh [28] introduced a similarity-based subpopulation genetic algorithm (SBSPGA) to solve the same problem. The performance of the algorithm is compared with those of two other evolutionary algorithms.…”

Scheduling optimization of a stochastic flexible job-shop system with time-varying machine failure rate

“…Recently, Moradi et al [44] investigates an integrated flexible job shop problem with preventive maintenance where the reliability approach was applied for modeling maintenance aspects of problem where both the maintenance activity numbers and maintenance intervals are not fixed in advance. The same approach is presented for the parallel machine scheduling case by Moradi and Zandieh [43]. Furthermore, Ben Ali et al [10] developed an elitist multi-objective genetic algorithm and derived some lower bounds providing a set of Pareto optimal solutions to minimize the makespan and the total maintenance cost in a job shop environment.…”

Inverse Scheduling in Flowshop With Multiple Machines

“…Moradi and Zandieh (2010) [13] investigated the make span and the system unavailability problem and presented a genetic algorithm for the problem. The necessary and sufficient conditions of optimality of a solution which was obtained in flowshop ISP (Brucker, P. and Shakhlevich, N.V., 2011) [14].…”
