In this paper, a hybrid genetic algorithm is proposed to solve the no-wait flowshop scheduling problem with the makespan objective. The proposed algorithm hybridizes the genetic algorithm and a novel local search scheme. The OA-crossover operator is designed to enhance the capability of...

Recently, the flowshop scheduling problem to minimize total flowtime has attracted more attention from researchers. In this paper, a genetic local search algorithm is proposed to solve this problem. The proposed algorithm hybridizes the genetic algorithm and the tabu search. It employs the...
