Abstract

In this paper, no-wait job shop problems with makespan minimization are considered. It is well known that these problems are strongly NP-hard. The problem is decomposed into the sequencing and the timetabling components. Shift timetabling is developed for the timetabling component. An effective method, CLLM (complete local search with limited memory), is presented by integrating with shift timetabling for the sequencing component. Experimental results show that CLLM outperforms all the existing effective algorithms for the considered problem with a little more computation time.
